Orlando, FL asked in Family Law, Child Custody and Military Law for Florida

Q: Will a POA suffice so I can take over my husband’s coparenting agreement while he is in school for his new assignment?

My husband, who is in the Air Force, is leaving for about five months to tech school to cross train to his new AFSC. There is a parenting agreement in place for my stepdaughter and right now we have her every other weekend (Friday - Monday). Will a military POA suffice so I can take over my husband’s coparenting agreement while he is in school? What legal rights do we have so our time with my stepdaughter doesn’t get taken away. Her BM has been difficult and we want to ensure we have measures in place to keep the schedule as is. Thank you.

A: The Judge was the ONLY person who established your husband's visitation rights, and the Judge is the only person who can answer this question. Do NOT rely on a "military POA." Ask the Judge.
