I am an AD AF father. High risk job, high deployment tempo. In fact recently tasked to deploy. I am trying to get out of the deployment because I am thinking of starting a custody battle for the kids. Is there no way that a AD military can get full physical and legal custody. I am trying to prove that their mother is unfit due to drug use. Any help would be great because she is telling me no matter what i do i can not be primary caregiver for the children and get sole custody. I know of the family care plan in the military-- What does that constitute, I know many AD people that have sole custody of their children I just need to know how they did it... Thanks

Given your career, you have an uphill battle. If you can prove that the mother is unfit, you are going to have to show how you are going to care for the children when you are deployed to a war zone.

If you can't prove that, then she is getting custody.

You need a real good attorney.

What you are going to have to do, is one, show she is unfit. Second, have someone that will care for your child when you are deployed, be it family, or good friend. If you have proof she is unfit, your halfway there. Iam a retired Army SFC and know what the rules are. Its the State your divorce is in that makes the decisions. So you have to have someone that will stand up and say I will fill the role of parent if your gone. Good luck, your in a fight for your kids life, go at it like you would any other fight. And do not let emotions take over.
