Ok I am currently engaged to a man in the U.S.Army and we have planed on moving to North Carolina in November. Some how my ex found out and is now taking me to court for custody of my childern which he hasn't really had anything to do with since the day they were born. This is just his way of hurting me and making sure I can't leave this state. I had told this to a friend of mine who is a SGT. in the Army and he told me that the law is differnt when it comes to the Army and its families. Unfortunatly he got called away and wasn't able to explain everything to me. My hearing is this Thursday and I don't have much time to figure everything out, and whats worse I haven't been able to tell my baby yet and I'm not sure how to. We had talked about him adopting my boys, but since my ex wants to be an ***, I'm driving myself up a wall trying to figure everything out. Is there any rules regulation anything that might be able to help me/us out incase my ex does by chance get joint custody?

bring with you as much ammo as you can against your ex.. the fact that he never sees the kids is a BIG point in your favor.
the courts do take into consideration that it is often not the parent's choosing to move out of state and/or country, so they won't hold it against you.

Every base has a military lawyer, or advisor, not necessarily called a JAG hehe, but every base has free legal assistance and advice available. Call the base directory and ask for the number. When you drive on base there should be signs directing you to the office, its usually the same place you can get your taxes done for free. =)

No, you'll have to request that the part about needing your ex's permission to move out of state (or even county) removed from your custody decree. It will be up to the judge. Also if you have any proof he has not been around, that would help.
We had proof that my dh's ex was not around because we had proof she was in daycare where we lived (and not where his ex lived.)

Just an idea, but why don't you talk to a lawyer? Have your fiancee talk to JAG. You will get better answers from them.
