What if the father of the child has the child before the divorce is filed wouldn't he have as much rights as the mother? The sticky part is is that he is in the military and will be stationed 7 hours away. While the father is in training the mother moved in with a 44 year old man she is 17. It is said by the mans own mother that he is not suppose to be around children becase of some type of charges against him. I'm not sure what. Marijuana has also been seen laying around the house they are staying in. The baby is 7 months old. She doesn't work she has completed depleted the bank account and ran up a 687 dollar cell phone bill. The father is still in training for the Air Force until November 28th thn he gets to come home for 2 weeks. Should he get a lawyer and file for emporary custody what if he has the child in his possession would he automatically be able to keep him before any divorce is filed?
