Child Custody and the Military

There are approximately three million individuals currently serving the United States Armed Forces and reserves. These people not only risk their safety and lives by serving their country, but they also potentially risk personal relationships, including marriages. Serving in the military can often strain a marriage, especially if one is deployed for extended periods overseas on active duty. If a divorce becomes necessary, child custody issues can be complicated by a parent’s military service.

Getting Child Custody as a Member of the Military

Through all the various evidence and arguments which are presented, the judge overseeing a child custody matter must be able to discern what course of action will serve the best interest of the child. In some instances, the court may decide that it would be problematic for a child to primarily reside with a parent who is serving the military. Active members of the military may have to leave the country for duty with very little notice. This unstable lifestyle can be very difficult on children, especially younger ones.

If you want custody of your children, you need to speak with a qualified legal representative. Whether you are currently serving in the military or have just returned from active duty and want to fight to get back custody, we can help you build your case.
