2015 divorce and impact on children's benefits

Question:

My ex husband is a VA since our divorce was finalized back in 2015. We have 2 children (boys) together while we were married. He got out from Army through medically discharge. In 2017, he left Washington State and went to Philippines. I am wondering if my boys still entitled for the military benefits and ID? During the same year of 2017, he immediately left the country and met his Filipino girlfriend and had another child there. I don't know if they are still together? He have tendency to leave when he got into a big problem. Please advise.

Without knowing a lot more, I can't answer your questions. But to be honest, the only way you'll know for sure what eligibility for benefits may exist is to return to court and demand details from him. Worth it? Only you can answer that.
