Soldier's Rights During Deployment
Two Questions:
1. My boyfriend, a father of three and Army soldier deployed to Iraq for a year allowed his ex to have temporary custody (physical & legal) of their 3 kids while he's deployed. Prior to deployment, they shared 50/50 custody. Recently their 7 year old child was hospitalized and his ex refused to give him information on his son, including which hospital he was at. He was allowed to talk to his son once, but since that time 3 weeks ago he's not been allowed any telephone contact with the kids. What actions can he take to reestablish contact? Should he take legal action to get back his legal custody?
2. My boyfriend's ex has been unemployed since 2008. I recently discovered that the ex's father bought a dance company where she is the "President" and a dance instructor. Obviously, she is now employed (by her father), but during their temporary change of custody hearing last month, in which my boyfriend called into the court from Iraq, the ex claimed she was unemployed. Child support was calculated based on the ex being unemployed. What actions can be taken when one party is in Iraq?
