My husband is in the Air Force and we are currently stationed in Florida. We are the custodial parents for his 5 year old son. The BM lives in Texas and has visitation rights (even though she has NOT taken an active interest in the child since we got him, hasn't paid a single penny of support... blah blah blah.. but anyway). My husband has been stationed here for 7 years and we are currently up for orders. There are only 3 states in the US we can go to and right now there are no open positions there, so it looks like we will end up with overseas orders (which is something we have been waiting for for several years now).
During the custody hearing the judge asked if there was any way that we would end up with orders overseas (by the way, the BM decided not to show up for ANY of the hearings) and we told him yes and also that the entire family would be able to go, he seemed satisfied with that.
IF these orders do come through, are we going to have to go back to court to get the judegement modified?? Since the BM has already blown her child off on all previously scheduled visitation and complains about coming to Florida to pick him up, it's to much of an inconvenience to her; even though we go to Texas to pick him up and before we got custody had to go wherever she was living at the time to see him (and there were 2 years we didn't see him at all because she wouldn't allow it, and moved around frequently). May 15 is the day orders are supposed to come down, so I need to make a decision on whether we need to contact our attorney again or not.
Thank you for your help!
