Long Distance Issues.....Possible WAW

[Quicksilver264]

If it is a good shot, then I have nothing to lose. If he/she thinks its a great deal, then I will take it, and wish her all of the luck in the world with her new man. I will get something put in about not bringing an new person around the kids for a set time though.

This attitude is going to get you nailed to a cross.

You are deployed through the United States Government, and under protections enacted by Congress, which derive their powers from the "Necessary and Proper" and "Supremacy Clause", CANNOT have definitive and permanent legal action taken against you.

Let her go wild, scream, file this, file that ect. Speak to your Commander, Boss, Company Legal Counsel, or Embassy Representative.

Your wife simply cannot walk away with your children. When you DO get back, ANY arrangements she has made CANNOT be permanent because of your deployment status. Your State Courts simply LACK THE JURISDICTION to make such arrangements in the face of your deployment.

BE WARNED. When your wife finds out about these protections you enjoy, she MOST LIKELY will go OFF THE WALL. Most women do when they find out they can't shake down their man who is overseas. They see it as an opportunity and their "right" to take the children and move on. They are FURIOUS that the Government put protections in place for men like that. She will most likely try to make you out as such a terrible parent that you should never see your kids again. This happens ALL THE TIME in these situations.

My advice: Find a former military service member with veteran status who is a lawyer, and get him/her ready to play some SERIOUS HARDBALL.

If she persists in trying to take your kids, your money ect ect, contact the United States Attorney for your district and let them know a State Court is BLATANTLY ignoring United States Rules of Civil Procedure. You may then have recourse to file a Writ in US Federal District Court. Your base should also have legal counsel and family services as well.

IGNORE HER THREATS, IGNORE HER TANTRUMS, AND KEEP YOUR CALM. WHO FREAKING CARES HOW MAD SHE IS AT THE LAW. It is there for YOUR protection.

DOCUMENT EVERYTHING. If she tries to force or threaten you to do anything by using money or your kids as leverage, since you are overseas, it could be considered blackmail or extortion. Then see how she likes being arraigned in US District Court for USC title 18 violations.
