Divorce and access to VA benefits

Question:

My husband told me when he divorce me, I will not get any his VA money. Is that's true?

Jim's Reply:

When a divorce happens the court determines who gets what...only the court will make that judgement. VA disability payments are income and will be considered by the court as the final determinations of child support and alimony are made. Veterans' disability money is not protected from the divorce court no matter how many veterans say that it is.
