Hi there-
I have what is probably a very complicated and possibly confusing issue. I am married and have 2 kids. The youngest is ours together. The oldest is from a previous relationship of my wife's. There was no marriage. The child is 8 now, and I have been in her life since she was 4. Her biological father has rare contact with her, usually by telephone and has visited her on about 6 occasions. He lives in Alaska, we in Massachusetts. He is very inconsistant. Currently there is no visitation order, however one will likely be coming in a few month's time. My wife has full custody and he is to pay $50 a month in child support. I know, a rediculous amount. He's very evasive. At any rate...
I am going to be entering the US Air Force as an Officer soon and that's likely what is going to complicate matters. If I am stationed overseas, take for instance Germany, and he wants to visit her, how does that work? I assume he would come to Germany. What if he wants to file some other legal issue? Modification of visitation or custody? Would he file it in the US? Germany? A Military court? (I'd be in the military, my wife would not be...just along for the ride so-to-speak.) What if we moved to another state in the US? Does he file in that state? With a Military court? What if we wanted to file something? Where would we file?
I'm sure you can see how this can get confusing very quickly. Any help would be much appreciated, as well as any resources that I could check out.
Thank you
