Divorcing couples in San Antonio may disagree about several elements regarding their proceedings. Yet if one were asked to name what he or she would expect those to most commonly be, jurisdiction may not be high on the list. However, where a divorce case is heard may have a dramatic impact on its final outcome. That is because the laws between states often differ, and one side in a divorce may believe that his or her chances at securing a favorable ruling are better in a certain jurisdiction.

Defining the different types of military assignments
Your military service may often take you away from San Antonio for extended periods of time. This may cause you great concern if you happen to be dealing with child custody issues. Many in your same situation have come to us here at The Law Office of Roland R. Esparza, P.C. prior to leaving for military service questioning how their absence may affect their custody status. Their fears (as well as yours) likely come from the knowledge that a military assignment can last anywhere from several weeks to a few years.
When accusations of child abuse are proven to be false
Child custody cases in San Antonio may often become heated given both the raw emotion that the parties involved may feel towards each other and the sense that both may have that each should be awarded primary custody. Such factors may even prompt one side to level accusations of child abuse against the other in the hope that doing so will help his or her custody case.
Can your ex hide income in a trust?
As you and your ex-spouse work your way through post-marital life in San Antonio, you might start to notice that he or she (or others) may look for ways to hide or protect income that would otherwise be used to meet financial obligations such as child support. One such method may be to place assets into a trust. However, when reviewing income to determine a child support obligation, the court may indeed look at trust funds as income. Your spouse could try and get around this by tying that money up in properties, yet in cases where a trust holds a large amount of property and little income, the court may also view the value of property as income, as well.
