"Ha why would she do that.. it would cut her child support check. That is why most of them want sole custody- to take revenge and get a check"

No one gets what they want when they go to court. The judge decides what's best for the child. If men step up and say they want custody, they usually get partial custody. If a judge decides one parent gets sole custody, it's a HUGE RED FLAG that there is something wrong with the other parent. HUGE.[/quote]

Not when one parent is active duty military.  How exactly do you work out "partial custody" living thousands of miles apart?  My husband was in the military and I see it happen all the time when a couple gets divorced.   The military member can't force the ex spouse to move to Japan or South Dakota or Florida  so they can have split custody.   And the military member doesn't have a say in where the government sends them.  So the military member ends up needing to relinquish custody and just depend on visitation.  The fact that OP's ex is a foreign national and would be working this in German courts makes it more complicated.

I've seen it go the other way too--- (both civilian) couple with a kid gets divorced with 50/50 custody.   Mom marries her new military husband, and he gets a new duty assignment 2000 miles away.  Mom has to choose A) relinquish custody of her child and move with her husband or B) Let her husband move alone and stay behind with the child--because she can't just move with the child and deny her ex his parenting time.

[b]The court bends over backwards to accommodate things like that --[/b] every summer, half the summer, every other Christmas, who pays for tickets to fly to the other parent, etc. There is also legal custody -- who makes decisions for the child. That OP has neither is telling. Getting full legal and physical custody is uncommon and says something.[/quote]
