Question
paulstrgn
I have a neighbor who is divorced and has three boys, two of them are living with his ex-wife and the other is by his second marriage and lives with them. Do the other two boys need to live with him in order to add them as dependents with the VA? He pays child support and both boys are single and still go to school. The oldest will be going to college soon.
In my mind he should be able too but when it comes to the VA one never knows.
