[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP with the husband in the military here again.

[b]Look, I get that it's hard for you to understand if you didn't live through what it was like for military families January 2002-2007 or so[/b]...Most military personnel that I knew did MULTIPLE tours of Iraq.  Sometimes you knew in advance, sometimes you only knew a few days before--and sometimes  (especially in the early part) you had no idea when/if your military member would  come back.

January 2002 my husband got 3 days notice, with ZERO idea of when he'd come home.   It ended up being September.   I got pregnant that night.
Then, 2 weeks before that baby was born, he was notified he was leaving again---at least this time he got several weeks notice, and left when the baby was 3 weeks old.  He was gone 6 months.
OP was in a tough position for arguing for any type of custody (in a German court, no less!) as a military member in the early-mid 2000s.[/quote]

NP here.

It's not hard to understand.  You've explained it very well and, frankly, it's pretty obvious to even a casual observer.  The other posters are being intentionally obtuse and mean to the OP.[/quote]

It's been 15 years since 2007, and by his account OP has flown to Germany once or twice a year and flown his kid out to the States for one week.  If the reason he couldn't have any unsupervised custody whatsoever was simply "could get called to Iraq with little notice," that hasn't been the case for most of his daughter's life.  So continuing to not have any level of custody and barely ever see her is either a lack of effort on his part to amend the custody order, or there's another reason he wasn't deemed fit for unsupervised visits that is not being mentioned.[/quote]

You have no idea how German courts work and really how divorces for service members go.[/quote]
