Hi broncovet, thank you for the info. Looking back I should have chosen a different title. It seems misleading. Notifying the VA of my dependents change is not trivial and definitely something I will do when the time comes. I was however wondering if after my divorce, if I should ever remarry, will my disability compensation be increased again to what I was getting before I got divorced the first time. Thanks again.

I read that if you are have one spouse and one child you get a certain amount of VA disability compensation (perhaps $256). I currently have 60% disability rating. If and when I get divorced will my VA disability compensation be reduced? ...and if yes, by how much? If I then should remarry will it then increase again by the same amount? Also, do the children have to live with me in order to claim them? ...or is paying child support sufficient. Thank you in advance. update - I am already receiving a monthly VA disability compensation. My question is: will I receive the same amount of disability once and if I should remarry in the future? ... and will I still be able to claim my kids although they don't live with me the majority of the time, and pay child support? Thanks.
