40% currently have claim filed now to be reevaluated. Will this cut my check ? How do I find out what amount he will get?

Dependents equal additional money.

Yes would mean that if we were married. But we are divorced and she has custody of my son. I saw on Internet it would cut my check in half I don't draw much as it is. Please any help would be appreciated on who or where I can see if it will cut my check...

Divorce doesn't have anything to do with it.......but make sure that you have provided the VA with all marriage license, divorce decrees (all marriages, and divorces that you have had), birth certificates, and social security cards (for all dependants that you are claiming)......the allotment for dependants will be added accordingly to your disability rating 30% or abouv, meaning that your payout amount will increase every month. .
