when he went to court originally he didn't file his 'evidence' or paperwork properly and it was thrown out. he is a great father he just didn't plan for court and had no money to hire a lawyer and was representing himself...she has a lot of money and hired a really good lawyer

Maybe you won't have to get an lawyer for anything. Try to work something out between the two of you. If that doesn't work then get the lawyer and provide them with the pros and cons of what more custody will do to the family as a whole. Then maybe they could tell you the best route to take.

Initially you need to review as to why he only got 7% custody?You have legal services avaliable on the AF base to look into this ahead of time. They should be able to get you in contect with the new base and legal office for any local details. So when you do arrive, you will be better prepared. Check with the local state procedures and requirements. It depends on how steady of life and how capable of supporting the child he is now with you and what ever happend as for the 7%.
Good Luck

this is the first time I have heard of custody of a child in the form of %. It is not like that in the UK so I have to be careful in how I answer this so as not to misinform you. Can you tell me what country you are in please. Common sense answer is to prove that you have a stable , loving home. you are both committed to what is best for the child and financially secure to the extent that when the child is with you, you can financially support him. i presume he pays child support to the Mother? that shows responsibility and maturity. that's always a winner. I am guessing he has so little custody of his child because of his Job. Therefore you have to prove that the extra time you are asking for is time when your husband will be at home to spend it with the child.

Hopefully, his ex will be agreeable to him seeing his daughter more often. It's sad when parents put their kids in the middle of their adult BS...instead of trying to raise their kids in a positive manner.
I would definitely check with a lawyer (if the ex refuses or gives a hard time)...it will be well worth the expense...good luck!

you can get free consultations with lawyers and they let you know what you have to do. but he will need to get a lawyer and take her back to court ato amend the old visitation aggreement and judges usually grants the father more visitation time.
