Comal County Military Divorce FAQ’s

Where Should I File for Divorce and Child Custody as a Military Member?

The question of where to file for divorce can be tricky for military families, given their often-transient lifestyle. If you’re unsure about filing jurisdiction, reach out to us. Our Comal County military divorce lawyers at Soyars & Morgan Law can guide you through the maze of jurisdictional intricacies.

Can I Initiate a Military Divorce in Comal County, Texas?

Qualifying conditions for filing for divorce in Comal County are as follows:

COMAL COUNTY RESIDENT OR SPOUSE ABROAD. If you’re a Texas resident serving outside the state or county, your time abroad is still considered as residency in Texas and your specific county, assuming you or your spouse are serving in the U.S. military or other federal services.

NON-TEXAN STATIONED IN COMAL COUNTY. If you or your spouse serve in the U.S. military and have been assigned to one or more Texas bases for at least six months, and stationed in a Comal County base for a minimum of 90 days, you’re considered a Texas resident and a resident of that county for divorce filing.

Temporary Spousal Support in Comal County?

Military branches mandate financial support from the service member to the civilian spouse when living separately. The support amount varies depending on factors such as child custody and the military branch in question.

Continued Health Coverage?

For long-lasting marriages, the non-military spouse might maintain health benefits post-divorce for up to a year or until remarriage, in some cases. Specifically, if the marriage has lasted 20 years, overlaps with 20 years of service, the non-military spouse retains health benefits. It’s worth noting that children generally maintain their health coverage after divorce.

Child Custody and Visitation in Comal County?

A unique aspect of military divorces involves the deployed service member’s right to delegate their visitation privileges to a chosen family member. The established visitation schedule remains intact but is carried out by the designated family member. It’s crucial to specify these details in your final custody order, whether you’re the service member or the civilian parent. Contact our Comal County military divorce lawyers at Soyars & Morgan Law to facilitate this process for you.

Can Military Members Obtain Child Custody in Comal County?

Certainly. Like any civilian parent, service members are eligible for child custody. Due to the specific conditions of military life, certain adjustments may need to be made to best serve the interests of the child or children involved.

What if I’m Deployed and Receive Divorce/Custody Papers?

There’s no need to panic. Legally, we can request a temporary continuance to pause the proceedings while we work on your case. Reach out to Soyars & Morgan Law in Comal County right away, so our specialized military divorce team can secure the continuance and create the optimal plan for your family.

Be Mindful of Geographic Restriction Language

Often, final divorce decrees or child custody orders include geographic restriction clauses, which require the custodial parent to stay within specified boundaries (for example, Comal County or the State of Texas).

Whether you are the military or non-military spouse, it’s crucial to ensure that the court doesn’t impose a geographic restriction that could impede your visitation rights. This becomes particularly relevant if you know you’re at your “last duty station,” as the other parent could be restricted to that particular county or state, affecting future visitation.
