San Antonio Family Law Attorney Linda Leeser Offers Legal Guidance for Military Divorce
Linda Leeser, a San Antonio family law attorney, assists military families with the legal complexities involved in divorce while serving on active duty or being married to a service member. Military divorce cases in San Antonio often involve overlapping federal statutes, such as the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA), and state-level rules regarding retirement pay, custody, and residency requirements. San Antonio family law attorney Linda Leeser provides support to those navigating these issues while balancing military responsibilities.
At Family Matters Law Firm PLLC, San Antonio family law attorney Linda Leeser provides legal guidance that reflects the structure and demands of military service. Jurisdiction issues, division of retirement benefits, child custody during deployment, and calculation of child support based on military pay require attention to both federal law and Texas statutes. San Antonio service members and spouses benefit from an approach that addresses military-specific procedures within the family law system.
"Military divorce doesn't always follow the same path as civilian divorce," says Linda Leeser. "From figuring out where to file, to understanding how retirement pay or healthcare access is handled, specific rules apply when one or both spouses are in the military."
Military divorce in San Antonio often involves protections under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA). Linda Leeser ensures that active-duty service members understand their right to request a stay of proceedings when military duties interfere with legal participation. Courts may delay hearings or pause cases for at least 90 days and beyond, preventing default judgments due to deployment or limited access.
Linda Leeser also works with clients on division of military retirement pay in accordance with the Uniformed Services Former Spouses' Protection Act (USFSPA). Texas courts may treat military retirement as community property, subject to time-based calculations. The "10/10 rule" allows for direct payment from the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) when the marriage and service overlap for ten years. Linda Leeser helps San Antonio families structure decrees to reflect fair and legal division of these benefits.
Custody arrangements require careful planning in military divorce. Linda Leeser assists San Antonio families in creating parenting schedules that accommodate deployments, permanent change of station (PCS) orders, and long-distance parenting. Texas law supports modified possession orders and virtual visitation to ensure continued parent-child relationships. Flexibility and documentation are key to maintaining stability during transitions.
Child support calculations in military divorce must account for base pay, housing allowances, subsistence, and other military-related income. Linda Leeser helps ensure accurate calculations and assists clients in navigating enforcement mechanisms such as wage garnishment through DFAS. Modifications are also available if pay or duty status changes.
In cases involving property division, Linda Leeser helps San Antonio military families distinguish between community and separate property. Military pay, bonuses, and retirement accounts earned during the marriage typically fall under community property. Linda Leeser helps present documentation and arguments that reflect the financial contributions and responsibilities of each party.
Spousal maintenance may be considered in cases where one spouse is unable to meet basic needs after the divorce. Linda Leeser provides guidance on eligibility based on marriage duration, financial resources, and other personal circumstances. These cases are evaluated carefully under Texas law to ensure outcomes that are legally sound and sustainable.
Military divorce also impacts healthcare access. Linda Leeser advises clients on continued eligibility for TRICARE under the 20/20/20 and 20/20/15 rules. Former spouses may receive benefits depending on the overlap of marriage and military service, while temporary options like the Continued Health Care Benefit Program (CHCBP) are available in other cases. Linda Leeser ensures that healthcare transitions are understood and properly documented.
