  • Need Some help/Advice!!!!!

    Anyone with legal knowledge and millitary knowledege help please. I have a cousin that was married to a air force officer. He filed for divorced convinced a judge to get custody of their only kid.
    Now the deal. He went to another state married another AF officer who posible knew his dicorce wasnt final. My cousin has filed charges for bigamy on him and im courious if he has to answer to both texas and az as well as the military. There will be a warrant out of texas since this is where they lived and filed for divorce and az was where he married the other gal while still married to my cousin

    Contact Air Force authorities, if it hasn't been done.
    They're especially sensitive to any "conduct unbecoming" and besides letting them know, they may very well advise you.

        and then comes into play whetehr or not the two officers applied for joint benefits through the military with his divorce not finalized.
        He broke the law by lying on marriage app in az but charges were filed in texas who has jurisdiction if not both?

          Did he have any reason to believe that his divorce was final?

            No he knew it wasnt. it wasnt for another 3 to 4 weeks that it was finalized. he got custody of the kid and when ur divorce is final u usally get the papers of it. He was the one that filed for divorce so i know he knew it wasnt finalized

              The thing is, if neither state did a thing, Air Force will. Damned Air Force doesn't play.

                slowwy this is unfolding as we speak
                she filed charges in texas for bigamy. The warrant is gonna be issued on monday. He commited the crime n az and i was wondering who has jurdistiction and if he canbe punished by all three. the two states and the af. not to mention if he is arrested by civil courts and extrdicted can he be considered awol

                  Yes. If he's under arrest for a crime, good chance it would go down as AWOL.
                  If the courts in Texas declared the divorce and set the time tables, they're definitely part of it.
                  Although I don't know for sure, I would think Arizona would be his last worry of them, Texas, and Air Force.
                  Arizona may just anull the marriage.

                    well reason i ask cause he is in az as we speak
                    texas is issuing warrant but i think they need the support of az to arrest him and then he gets him first az texas or the af

                      He cannot be punished in both states, as bigamy is a criminal matter (in addition to civil issues arising from the child and divorce) and you can't be punished twice for the same offense.

                      Imran would be the best person to ask about this, though I'll venture a guess that AZ would probably be the preferred venue for the trial if there is a disagreement, since the actual violation (signing the second marriage license etc.) occurred in AZ. Now, I suspect TX has at least some claim to jurisdiction, meaning if they both agree to hold the trial there, it's possible that would fly (though why would he?) ...

                      Anyway, the AF will certainly be of help here, though I'm not sure they have any ability to affect custody or even to affect the civil (money) side of things. They'll certainly dock his rank and/or do various other things to him, I'd expect, but I'm not sure they have any jurisdiction over custody, unless they're able to prevent him from having the child in his own custody, or if they actually imprison him for the offense (in which case I think custody is automatically revoked?) ...

                        Why would that go down as AWOL? Not a military man myself, so I don't know that it would or wouldn't be, but logically one would think the USAF would understand incarceration (so long as he reports it) and would not consider it AWOL (but would of course consider it something else)?

                          from wha i understand as far as awol he doesnt have permission to be in jail and the military doesnt involve them selves in civil/ criminal law against their memebers. if indeed he is arrested and not reporting to duty he is considered awol due to his onw personal actions. this is what i was told only the military personal can tell me different

                            Seems brutal ... what if he's unjustly imprisoned or something?

                              then id guess the military would find out it was unjustly imprisioned and pardon the guy. Inthis case its not unjust he broke the aw and we have proof, I am only trying to figure out who he has to deal with first.
