The current decree is pretty much 50/50 all the way, only exception is my home is their legal address. But she thinks even though she agreed to all that that she can go back on it and take them with her.

I think the kid has to be 16 to have any say? Anyhow, it ALL depends on the judge. This is why you avoid litigation at all costs. Judges can be completely ****ed in the head.

There's no way to avoid it. He has no choice but to go where the army tells him, and they're newlyweds so she obviously wants to go with him and refuses to leave our kids behind without a fight. She did admit however that if she loses she won't go and I saved that text so if the judge truly wants what is best for the kids ruling in my favor would keep them at home with both of their parents.

It all depends on the judge. I don't care what your lawyer says. He may tell you that you have a rock solid, completely air-tight case against her and that you've done everything right.

Then the judge decides to side with the mother because he just thinks the kids are better off with Mom.

Happens all the time. Best of luck. Be prepared to fight and spend a lot of money doing so. The system is much more inclined to side with the mother, it's just the way it is. Years and years of too many asshole dads have kind of screwed it up for the good dads out there. And, then there's the judge and it all depends on which side of the bed he OR SHE wakes up on.

I think 16 may be the age for final decision, but I do know some judges will let younger children speak with them one on one off the record if they wish. Judge will then chose to use or disregard what was said in a final decision. Once again it just comes down to the judge.

In Maryland at the age of 10 a kid can pick who they want to live with.

Really ! That would be horrible for the child to have to make that decision in MOST cases.

Beats the shit out of forcing the child to live with a parent he/she doesn't want to.

I don't understand why people become who they become. So some new dick comes into the picture, decides that he is so important that she and your children must follow in his footsteps, and she's ok with this? If she had any sense in her head she should've picked a better man with a better career path. I know this doesn't help your questions but I would think that unless her lawyer can convince the judge that you're a terrible father or can't provide for the children better than she could, I would think the judge would side with you.
