The Board found that the former spouse demonstrated financial hardship and the Veteran did not, thus granting an apportionment of $300 per month to the former spouse for the period from June 1, 2009, to May 31, 2010.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that the former spouse's income exceeded their expenses by approximately $109 per month and the Veteran's net income after deducting the apportionment was sufficient to cover her own expenses.
