HI my name is Jessica and my ex husband owes quite a bit in back child support, he and I are wondering if he can use his gi bill to pay his arrearages?

The "GI Bill" was legislation passed for returning WW II veterans to allow them to get funding for education and retraining so they could re-enter the job market.

That's all it can be used for.

For future reference please take more care in choosing a forum. Legal questions belong in the Law forums where I have moved your question.

Thank you, and I'm not sure if it will help or not but thank you for answering my question

I agree it doesn't help solve the problem of the arrears, but it did answer the question.

Can your ex pay a little bit more per month to go towards the arrears?

The thing with the GI Bill is that if he is enrolled in a qualifying school, he gets a fixed amount monthly, which may be significantly higher than the cost of the schooling. The monthly payment is 1/X of total value of the Bill where X is the number of months of his initial term when he signed up for it and the total value is determined at his time of enrollment.

SO... if he enrolls in a qualifying community college that has courses for $100/credit and maintains a total tuition cost of about $300 a month, he will get X amount from the service usually in excess of $1000 (mine paid $1350 a month for full time school).

My recommendation would be for him to speak to the financial counselor of a local community college or other qualifying program that interests him.
