Texas Military Divorce - Jurisdiction and Child Support

With many men and women of our armed forces involved in foreign conflicts that have lasted nearly a decade, often reporting for multiple and lengthy tours of duty, the stress on families is understandably severe. Not only the physical and emotional distance caused by deployment, but also the difficult adjustment to life back at home for our returning veterans, has resulted in a rise in divorce rates that have left so many military families struggling to adjust. The family law attorneys at Bertolino LLP are knowledgeable of and sensitive to the unique details that surround a military divorce and are ready to help you through this difficult process.

A lawyer at our law firm can work with both members of the military or non-military spouses through the issues specific to your situation. What is the correct jurisdiction for filing divorce papers when one person is stationed overseas or placed on temporary assignment in another state? How will child custody be handled when a service member will be in Iraq or Afghanistan for a year? What right does your former spouse have to your hazard pay or military pension? These are important questions that deserve consideration and attention to your personal circumstances.

The members of our military, and their spouses who are left behind to keep the family moving forward on the home front, deal with intense stress and uncertainty every day. If the decision has been made to dissolve a marriage in which one or both partners are in the military, a divorce attorney involved should do his or her part to keep the process free from as much contention and added emotional trauma as possible. The family law attorneys at Bertolino LLP have great respect for the amazing sacrifices that military families make for our country and will do their part to provide effective and thorough client care during this time of transition that considers your legal obligations and personal and parental rights.
