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.

If you have ever lived in the state of Texas for six months and once you reside in a county of Texas for ninety days then you can file for divorce in Texas in the county of your residence. You may seek temporary orders for support, use of the property, payment of the bills, child custody, visitation and child support along with restraining orders or injunctions. Upon divorce the court will make orders that are in the best interest of the children and divide the community assets and debts in a just and fair manner considering fault in the breakup.
