Hey guys, I’m in the military stationed in South Korea, and I’m dealing with some issues regarding my divorce decree from Texas. My ex’s lawyer told her she doesn’t have to pay for my international travel, but our decree says we split travel costs in half, with no mention of international specifics. Plus, it seems I’m also expected to cover extracurricular activities. Any advice on how to handle this?
You should definitely get legal advice on this. If the decree says to split costs, that should apply to international travel too. Don’t let her lawyer mislead you.
Check if you can modify the agreement or clarify it in court. It sounds like your ex is trying to take advantage of the situation.

Yeah, I feel like she’s trying to twist the decree. I just want to make sure I’m doing everything right.
For extracurriculars, it’s common to share costs, but you need to look at what was agreed upon in your decree. Document everything.
Make sure to keep all communication documented, especially regarding travel costs. It might help if you need to take legal action.
Military family law can be tricky, so consult a lawyer who specializes in military cases. They can help clarify your rights.
