Bryan, TX Divorce Law Firms & Lawyers

I advise you hire a lawyer. Her lawyer has no obligation to even ifnform you about what the court would normally do or what your rights are.  Even for a divorce when parties agree on most terms, there are usually terms on which the spouses differ.  Then the only solution is mediation or a trial. You will want a lawyer with you at mediation and at trial.  You will have your rights and interests better protected with a lawyer on your side.  Regarding possession of your child: If the child is age three or over, Texas courts will grant you possession of your child under the expanded standard possession order. That allows overnights with you the first, third and fifth weekends of every month Friday afternoon through Monday morning with pick up and return at your child's school.  You also are allowed possession on Thursday overnight to Friday morning, again from school dismissal to school return on Friday.  Thursdays are every week during the school year. You should also get time during Thanksgiving week and the Christmas break, so please at least consult a lawyer to learn more about your rights and schedule.  

Technically, at two years you've been married to your military husband long enough under Texas law to be entitled to a small portion of his military retired pay. However, until you've been married to him for ten years, the military finance center will not pay you directly. After two years of marriage you will be entitled to an award of roughly 5% of his monthly disposable net 20-year retired pay at his current grade, if, as and when he actually retires and receives it. You will be entitled to no medical or other dependent benefits after the divorce. In Texas you are not likely to get more than temporary spousal support (while a divorce case is pending) because you've been married for too short a time. It may be in your financial interest to stay married as long as possible.

It sounds like the pension from the part-time job is a missed asset. If the ex finds out about it, she could go to court to get half. You need to see whether the part-time pension was awarded to him in the divorce. if it was, it's his.
