So my YS is getting deployed.  I knew it was coming and have been preparing for it.  What I wasn't prepared for was a phone call from him this weekend.  One of the big issues with his DD and not seeing her is his inability to get back in court, being in the military.  Long story that I've told before, so I will not bore you again.

The call is because he is being deployed, he had the option of giving me full power of attorney over his affairs.  In researching it with the military's legal department, if he gave me full power of attorney, I can act on his behalf in regards to court and DD.  I can also assume his visitation on his behalf, because of a military law in our state.  So the call was to ask me if I wanted to do that.  Well of course I want to see GD.  I told him that if he granted that to me, I would then seek the opinion of an attorney after getting it to see what my options are.  So here I go again.....  ;D

Good luck, Pooh.  It says a lot that he trusts you to have that kind of power and access in his life.  Sending my best thoughts!
This too shall pass.  All is well.

Hate the fact that he is being deployed (tell him thank you for his service), but glad that he's putting you in the mix and making it so you can see your GC.  You will be a great advocate for your GC.  Keep us updated for sure.

Thank you much.  I have to get the paperwork, sign it....mail it back....military notarizes it and gets me a copy....mails it back........

So it could take a few weeks knowing the military.  Once I get it, I'll schedule a consultation here with one of our barracudas.  (And that's not downing a lawyer...I WANT a barracuda! Lol.)
