Personal life

Lambesis is Christian. During an August 2010 radio interview on The Full Armor of God Broadcast, Lambesis said "I can only really write about what I'm passionate about in life, so naturally my faith, my belief in the teachings of Jesus and His resurrection come across in our lyrics." Tim and Meggan have two daughters and a son that were all adopted from Ethiopia. Meggan Murphy Lambesis filed papers in San Diego Superior Court in September 2012 seeking a dissolution of their marriage, according to an online court database.

When not on tour, Lambesis lives in [Del Mar, California]] and Meggan and the children live in [Encinitas], California.

2013 solicitation of murder arrest

On May 7, 2013, Lambesis was arrested for allegedly attempting to hire a hit man to murder his estranged wife Meggan Murphy Lambesis. He was arrested without incident while shopping at a Barnes & Noble in Oceanside, California, according to San Diego Sheriff’s Department, and was charged with solicitation of another to commit murder. The investigation began after Lambesis allegedly contacted an undercover sheriff's detective on May 2 to kill his wife, according to deputies.
