It is no secret that military life is hard. The men and women of the armed forces endure grueling exercises and training programs in order to achieve the level of fitness and dedication required by the military, and then they are sent to different bases or deployed to foreign countries in order to defend the freedoms we hold so dear. Unfortunately, as difficult as the working conditions are for someone in the armed forces, the circumstances of their home lives can be equally difficult.
If you have gone through a divorce and the child custody agreement between you and your former spouse has been finalized, you may think that your child custody issues are a thing of the past. Unfortunately, this is not necessarily true, as custody orders can change depending on the circumstances. Additionally, there are other parties who may seek involvement in the custody arrangement, which could further complicate matters.
Texas is a no-fault divorce state, meaning that couples can divorce without claiming or proving that one member of the marriage directly caused the issues that led to the divorce (such as committing adultery or cruelty). If the spouses agree that the marriage is irretrievably broken, then they can file for divorce in Texas. However, if courts can find evidence or grounds that a marriage could reasonably be reconciled, then the divorce may not be granted.
Across the country, many fathers are still concerned about their visitation and custody rights in the event of a divorce. It is a fear to which nearly every father can relate: will I be given fair treatment in a custody hearing? Will the courts deny me joint custody because I am a man?
If you have spent any amount of time on the Internet or watching the news recently, you are no doubt aware that the Supreme Court of the United States voted 5-4 in favor of legalizing same-sex marriage across the country. This officially makes same-sex marriage the law of the land, but some states are hesitant to adopt the ruling without a fight. Texas arguably stands at the forefront of these reluctant states, with our state's Attorney General vowing to be a voice for the defense of religious beliefs.
