Being in the military shouldn’t mean losing your parental rights — but deployments, PCS moves, and active-duty obligations can complicate custody and visitation. In this episode, our Texas family law attorneys break down how the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) and Texas law work together to protect service-member parents during custody, visitation, and child support proceedings.
We’ll explain:
How the SCRA can delay or pause court proceedings when service prevents participation.
Why deployment cannot be used as the sole basis for permanently changing custody.
How temporary custody orders work during deployment — and how rights are restored when service members return.
Practical steps military parents can take to safeguard their parenting time and decision-making rights.
💡 Serving your country should never jeopardize your role as a parent. Knowing your rights is the first line of protection.
