Asked in Child Custody for Illinois

Q: I have primary custody of my child. My ex wife did not want the responsibility and was also very neglectful. However im

A soldier about to get deployed and she may try to take the child back in my absence even though she has not raised the child but I and my current wife have raised the child. Will she be able to do this permanently, temporarily just while I'm gone and then the child comes back to me or even at all with the proof of neglect and borderline abuse I have on her. This matter is time sensitive and I'm trying to be as detail oriented as I can to avoid obviously generic answers. I simply want what's best for my child amidst circumstances out of my control.
