Child custody
Military Custody Case
Dec 08, 2014
OUTCOME: Favorable
The parties are both in the military. They met and had a brief relationship for a few months, which resulted in Mom getting pregnant.
Mom is stationed in Las Vegas and Dad is stationed in Colorado ...Springs. After the child was born, Mom made Dad's visitation increasingly difficult. Finally, out of frustration, Dad filed with the Court to establish a custody schedule so that he would be able to see the child.
Dad handled the beginning portion of his case, but retained Mr. Jacks and The Jacks Law Group for the discovery phase and for the evidentiary hearing.
At the time of the hearing, the child was a mere 10 months old. Dad wanted joint physical custody and Mom wanted primary physical custody with Dad having unstructured visitation.
At the end of the hearing, Dad prevailed and the parties now have joint physical custody with the receiving party providing the transportation. The parties realize that this schedule will only work until the child is old enough to attend school, but since the Parties are both in the military, it would be impossible to know where either party would be at the time the child needed to go to school.
