Any info anyone can provide would be great. Normally the average soldier stays at one post for 2-3 years before he gets orders somewhere else. There is a really big push on, however, to keep soldiers at one post a lot longer like 6-7 years now. As for families, when a soldier moves his family usually goes with unless he/she is being sent to S. Korea. What happens is the base takes care of moving all their stuff unless he decides to take care of it himself & any other moving related expenses are re-imbursed in full when he gets to his gaining unit.

supernuke Posted April 18, 2004 Author Share Posted April 18, 2004 f***, well thanks for the info. The reason I ask is because my ex is planing on marrying a millitary man and moving to Seattle with my son, which is a hell of a distance from me right now and I am trying to figure out how to still be near my son. I guess it's not going to be easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supernuke Posted April 18, 2004 Author Share Posted April 18, 2004 One more thing is there any possibility of someone being restationed outside the US where they would bring their family? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I obviously do not know the details, but I wouldn't let my son move that far away without some very good reasons. And an ex geting married doesn't cut it.

Germany is a big one, but any permanent stationing overseas is accompanied by family save for S. Korea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supernuke Posted April 18, 2004 Author Share Posted April 18, 2004 Unfortunatly we never had a legal agreement, it never seemed necessary until now. But I will definately be talking to a lawyer. Right now I am just trying to figure out all of the possible scenarios and what is best for my son. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't ride in at the last moment and expect the courts to help. But if you have been seeing him regularly, paying child support or equivelent, you may have some standing. Have you met the new husband? I am glad to hear you state that you are looking for your son's best interest. Too often when elephants fight, the grass gets trampled. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck Thank you for the well wishes. I do see him regularly and I do pay support so I hope that ends up meaning something. I have not met the new husband yet which is another big cause for concern right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Listen closely to your son. Try to hear past the "adult speak" where he is repeating things he hears from mom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steff Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 IMO.. no way to letting her take your son out of state. You're his father. He needs you. No amount of "visitation" can make up for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just so confused right now I don't know what to do and what is right all I know is that I don't want to lose my son and I can't see any way that visitation could even work with 1600 miles separating us and a round trip flight costing $600.

CubsSuck1 Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Wow, supernuke, that is some deep, deep stuff. I wouldn't tough that with a 10 foot pole. Good luck though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The burden of cost should be on her. She's leaving. AT least that is how the courts here usually decide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canada is way more family oriented than the US when it comes to custody matters. I'll PM you since this is personal stuff.. but my thoughts are that no way she takes that child out of the country - I wouldn't let her move to another providence as a matter of fact!
