VERY long story. My friend's husband asked for a divorce in July. She was shocked but wanting to keep it as clean as possible she let her son go stay with him in Germany where they were stationed at the time while she tried to get things together back "home" here in TX. The agreement was that in DEC her son be brought back to the states to reside with her. Now her husband is threatening not to bring her child back. We have no Idea what to do next. She wasn't actually SERVED with divorce papers but has seen a rough draft of his intentions.
The story is even more complex than I can write- but to sum it up, her husband left her here without a car, job, home or dime. And every lawyer wants 3000 up front to take her case.

the question is, any suggestions on where to go next?
Oh and HE committed Adultry and thats why he is divorcing her after 7 years.

She should call every lawyer in the phone book to ask if they will take the case, and her pay them out.Or have the lawyer set it up in the divorce papers that he has to pay all lawyer and court cost. She will need a very good lawyer, that knows about custody battles overseas.Since her son is in Germany she may have a hard time getting him back home. Unless his dad does the right thing. Im thinking she should call a lawyer and ask "should I call the US embassy in Germany to see if they can help get my son home?" Although I could be wrong. BEST OF LUCK TO HER!

What is your question? Sounds like he has a great shot at getting custody.
No kidnapping has occurred. He is the father and has the right to have his child with him unless there is a court order that says otherwise.
The military will not get involved in a civil matter. They can not by law.
His alleged affair may or may not be an issue in court. It will depend on the proof that exist *that the affair existed before the separation* and on the state law about "fault". Who left who is normally immaterial to divorce and custody issues.

first of all, with you seeing somebody new it somewhat is termed adultery. even nonetheless your marriage is over, you're nevertheless yet another guy's spouse. 2d, his scientific situation would not have something to do with custody. Him being energetic militia might have a substantial consequence on it, nonetheless, as he never knows of whilst he would be redeployed. I advise getting your self a job or actively finding, and documenting it so the decide can see you desire to furnish on your son. i think of on the instant you will get custody and your husband (specific, husband) gets visitation.

1) divorce court in TX.
2) Notify his base commander of your agreement and his letter. Military frowns on this sort of behavior. Include copy of "his intentions"

She needs a lawyer. $3,000 is a reasonable retainer for a custody case.

She needs a very good attorney, and she needs to consult with the military. They generally don't allow their members to kidnap children.
