The father in this story is a local sports guy that I listen to every day. The bm took this story to the media hoping to make the father look bad. http://www.tampabay.com/news/military/macdill/judge-says-socom-officer-c...

I made him look bad to some people I'm sure. And by some people I mean mostly BM's that are used to getting their way all the time. I read the story and thought what the judge said was fair...if the children were older then maybe...not at their present ages though. I'm happy for the father Smile

Honestly, I kinda think it does. But my family is military, so I guess I'm biased.

the BM wanted to take the kids out of school and out of the country. All because of Stepdad's new job. It isnt like bio dad is a dead beat who isnt there for his kids. He wants to be a father. If the mother truly wanted what was best why didnt she leave them with dad, give up PC and have the kids during the summer...think about it, this was not a mother wanting best for her kids.

yes it would appear that she would be abandoning them but so would it if a bio father let the Kids leave the country. When you have kids you make the choice to make sacrifices for them it is part of being a parent, when you get divorced you made the choice to adjust your life to “center” more around the kids because of custody agreements. These are all choices that BM, BioDad, and StepDad made, now that BM didn’t get her way she is throwing a fit making it an anti-military statement made by the judge, Sorry BM but StepDad has no legal rights to the kids, it is great that he is military, but that doesn’t mean you get to relocate at the drop of the hat, two house holds are affected and Stepdad factors should not be included in decisions regarding locations. Stepmom job locations aren’t factor, in fact a lot of us have had to quit or move to be closer to the kids for the men we love.

I am happy for the father, but at the same time, it sucks that the stepfather had to turn down such a prestigious job opportunity. But, the father is an active parent, and the kids should be able to continue to see their father on a regular basis.
