Wow! I am having mixed feelings on this. Judges use employment in custody battles all the time. Employed as a striper, porn star, ect, can hurt your chances of custody. Employed by some place that makes you constantly travel on business, causing your kid to be given to relatives or switch school systems regularily, while the other parent is stable--- gonna hurt in the custody battle.
I think the military should be different, because there is a higher cause, it's important, it's service to the country, and I don't think people should have to get out of the military to protect their custody rights.
Gut and emotionally- I think this is total crap, total total crap, and shameful! But if I were on the other side of the custody battle, I'd be making the arguement that it should be treated no different then any other job that makes kids less "stable."
I do hope they pass some laws to prevent this in the future. This is the last thing our men and women in uniform need to stress about the whole time they are gone.
Seems like they could amend the Solider and Sailor Civil Relief act to include this.
