Child Custody and the Military

Divorce alone can be a long and difficult process. In some instances, divorce is further complicated by the need to establish child custody during and / or following the divorce. Military service by a parent, especially active military service, will play a large role in a custody agreement.

Military child custody issues come with many complications. If you are seeking custody of your child and you are or have been on active duty in the military, contact the Houston child custody attorneys at Garg & Associates, P.C., by calling 800-242-2151 to learn more about your rights.

Determining Child Custody

The goal of a child custody arrangement is to find an arrangement that works in the “best interest of the child.” If you are deployed abroad, child custody arrangements will have to be changed, and it will likely involve the child’s other parent receiving full custody. Sadly, upon returning from deployment, you may be facing a tough battle. Often, people in the military are unofficially penalized for their time away. This should not be the case, and the lawyers of Garg & Associates, P.C., strongly believe that military personnel should be given the same rights as all other individuals.

Military service often involves multiple moves, sometimes across the country. This also complicates child custody issues. The help of an attorney will be necessary to see that a fair arrangement is reached under these circumstances.
