OK...legally they're still married and when he called the police to report the baby kidnapped, they said since there was no court order..nothing could legally be done...I need info on custodial parent laws in the state of Ga (we're in Ar) since that is where she is...she is in the military and he just got out....neither one of them has filed for the divorce yet but both of them have lawyers....we just want the baby back but I don't want to drive all the way down there and have it more messy than it has to be...and I definately don't want him to make a wrong move and lose custody of him when they go to court because of something he does now...if more details are needed I will post them...but what is our best course of action now? and PLEASE no smart a$$ answers..i really don't have time for them....thanks!!

they had an agreement that he would keep her until she was out of the military....but that was before the lawyers got involved....she came up here under the guise of "visiting" and took off in the middle of the night...

blah blah on him braking military law...I know that and that's why he got out of the military...HE is OUT....SHE is still ACTIVE.....military has no jurisdiction over him....he has contacted the IG and nothing has been done....is there another person/command he should contact?

I'm not gonna call her unfit but when we got her she was 18months and didn't talk..raging ear infections in both ears and badly underweight....we are quite strict with what we allow her to watch and eat(no music videos or talk shows..no junk food.things like that) but her mom is not...she thinks its OK for her to watch music videos and jerry springer and soap operas all day....she takes basic care of her but I am worried that she will be developmentally delayed from lack of educational stimulation...we had her learning a word a week but now she's back to just hi and bye-bye on the phone when we talk to her...

he needs to contact his lawyer and not make any rash decisions, since there is nothing legal yet ... there really isn't much to stand on ... he needs to act now and file for divorce and for sole custody ... have him follow the law and listen to the atty ... do not do anything stupid and go pick her up ... he needs to look responsible in the eyes of the law and he has to realize it'll be hard to take a baby from their mother .. no matter what she's done, he needs proof ... lots of it!! good luck!!

He can contact his current lawyer and get a temporary custody order- this will legally give him custody of the child but the cops are right no legal document they can't do a thing.
First thing tomorrow he needs to get a hold of the lawyer and the militray commander and bring them all up to spped on what happened and when. The US military does not condone or take lightly any parent disappearing with a child. However legally your boyfriend is breaking military law by sleeping with YOU. Yes my dear it is against military policy to have an extramarital affiar and that is what is happening if he is with you now so be prepared he may face some music on that front as well.

Well to me this is gonna take some time. I know that this is hard but you will have to let the lawyers handle this. Your lawyer can contact her lawyer and let them know that there is a problem with the fact that she has taken the baby off. Your right thought about the fact that it is best to stay where you are until this is ironed out cause going there is gonna make it worse. Hopefully she is a good mother and will not do anything bad. If you think that she is unfit then let the lawyer know this. Good luck

No you are wasting everyone else's time. If there has been no divorce no order of custody the mother of the child can take the child anywhere she wants to. She is LEGALLY that child's custodial parent whether you or your boyfriend like it or not. The only thing you should do is wait and see the the lawyer says. Unless you want to land in jail.

did they make an agreement on who will have custody of the child until they go to court??? that would make some difference.... my parents got a divorice when i was 2 and i had to stay with my mom because they made an agreement with the lawyers that my father could only have me for 2 days a week but they lived in the same town... but i would talk to your lawyer about it because he might be able to do something

An attorney is the only course of action at the moment.
