Sorry NERD... you need to back away and stay out of this. The father will have gotten briefings on his options. The divorce will have stated what rights the mother and child have to the retiree's income and retirement benefits--and it may very well be zero!
Point your friend towards the GI bill, which is the benefits you speak of, tell her to start googling, and back thou away slowly and carefully. I also recommend you not get between a female grizzly and her cubs... I normally don't feel this is advice I need to give, but maybe you need it
