Military Family Law
Texas Military Family Law Attorney
Military personnel are often uniquely affected by civilian legal matters. So, when they have a family law concern, it can be critical that they work with a lawyer who understands how the law affects both civilians and military personnel.
At Hendricks, Weathers & Jefferson, P.C., in Keller, Texas, we have this understanding. Our family law attorney, Ron Hendricks, served four years active duty in the Navy and 18 years in the naval reserves. As a combat naval aviator veteran of the Vietnam War, he was committed to the successful completion of every combat mission that he flew regardless of the weather or circumstances as well as the safe return of his pilot and crew aboard ship. He understands the special concerns of people in the uniformed service and empathizes with soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines: men and women who must often leave their families and put their lives on the line for our county. Let Ron Hendricks put that same level of commitment to the solution of your family law matter as he did to his combat missions and as you now bring to your service to our country.
Our law firm provides a wide range of military family law services:
- Military divorce: When one or both spouses are in the military, the can be affected by both military and civilian issues. Our law firm has in-depth knowledge of the law, including the Uniformed Services Former Spouses' Protection Act (USFSPA), and can help you understand your rights and responsibilities when it comes to things like dividing survivor’s benefits, retirement and VA benefits, and caring for your children after your divorce.
- Military child support: Texas child support guidelines calculate how much is owed based on the parents’ income and number of children. But this calculation may be different for military families. As a firm that knows military family law, we know the calculation can include a living allowance in addition to base pay.
- Military child custody: Sometimes, military families are affected differently by child custody concerns. When personnel are deployed overseas, they can appoint who will care for their children. Hendricks, Weathers & Jefferson, P.C. zealously advocates for you, fighting to get the results you need.
