Military Divorce Laws in Texas

Military service members and their spouses must ensure their divorce is conducted according to state and federal laws. Military couples divorcing in Texas are required to file a petition in the county in which they live. They must also meet the minimum residency requirement, which is set at 90 days.

Service Members Civil Relief Act

Federal laws exist to protect members of the armed forces from being held in default for failing to respond to divorce petitions.

According to the Service Members Civil Relief Act, a military divorce may be postponed:

• While the service member is on active duty
• Up to 60 days after a military member returns from active duty

Active duty service members may choose to waive these protections if they desire to continue with the divorce proceedings once they are filed.
