The judge can allocate cash flow during the pendency of the divorce. Disability pay is the separate property of the service member and the court cannot award it to the other party as part of the property division. I suggest you hire a lawyer.

The answer depends on the details of the severance pay, but generally yes for the portion that is for pay and no for the portion that is attributable to pain and suffering. I suggest you have a family lawyer review the details of your severance pay distribution to give you a more accurate answer.
