Her being his power of attorney during the divorce. I don't see the court allowing that.
Oh, well, hell no the court won't allow that! But why couldn't he assign someone else? That would work.

Because in court an actual attorney would have to represent him. The attorney would have power of attorney. But with him in Iraq, it would probably be delayed until he got back anyway.
