What military benefits will my child have with joint custody?

I am a remarried mother with 2 autistic children. Their father passed away three years ago. Since then, my parents have helped me raise them. They do not live with them, but they take them to school, attend school meetings, and have the kids stay there two or three days of the week. I am considering giving them joint custody. My father is a military veteran with benefits for him and my mother. Will my children also receive any benefits if they have joint custody with me?|||Medical is through Tricare as a Retiree he pays a yearly amount for it. They may be able to add the children to that but not necessarily. They can use base facilities but it is restricted as they are Retirees not AD, so things like Day Care are not an option.|||only if they adopt them. they would need to be dependants.|||None unless they have adopted the children....





Do NOT go that route!
