Q: The father of my son is deployed until December2018. He has previously avoided being served. Help?
The father of my child wants all rights, but is doing absolutely nothing to help out with our 2 year old needs. He does not want to be on child support. I have gone through child support twice and trying to figure out how to get him served after his deployment... better yet, during his deployment. Please advise.
A: He's going to be protected from suit while he is deployed pursuant to the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, so you cannot get an order while he is deployed. That said, if you know his unit, and if there has already been a paternity determination, you might be able to call his command and notify them of the situation. My understanding is that the military has processes to assist in the collection of support.
