A well thought out family care plan is detailed, and spelled out, and it makes allowances for various types of military service, but most of all it provides for the security and safety of family members. Entering the service is also a choice that many Servicemembers make as a single parent because of the excellent pay, benefits and support that parents can access as American military Servicemembers. Knowing how to access support and to find answers as a single parent can make all the difference. One thing vital to remember as a family, and as a military parent, is to have a plan. The Servicemember that is a parent and becomes a single parent while on reserve or Active duty service should make sure that they have an effective, well thought out family care plan. Sometimes your family can be together at a duty station, at other times your children will have to stay with a family member while you are on deployment. It spells out in detail the wishes of the service member. While there are a number of programs that give support for single Military parents in the Armed Forces, there are also rules that apply for Servicemember parents that are called into the field on deployment. When joining the service single parents must make arrangements and give custody of their children to someone else. Working to serve in the United States Military is an excellent career for many people. A person can learn a trade, or a valuable skill, and the pay, allotments and other benefits allow you to support your family well.

The policies regarding single parenthood vary from service to service. Are you interested in an exciting career in the Military? See if you qualify. Click Here Now! This is to protect the children in case the Servicemember is injured or killed on the battlefield.

Tracy, unfortunately if the father wants to keep your child while deployed, unless you can prove him to be an unfit parent, he will get to take care of the baby during your deployment. I suggest that you file for custody as soon as your child is born. If you don’t file for custody, he may be able to do that while you’re gone. Like I said, unless he is an unfit person, you will just have to let go, and give him a chance to be a parent while you’re deployed.

Tracy,

You may consider, if you are determined not to allow the father to have custody, that you leave his name off of the birth certificate, and choose and legally appoint someone else to care for your child. You may also consider that the first weeks and months of a child’s life are key to establishing a strong bond between mother and baby. Much love and good luck.

An active duty Marine going through divorce and having custody of his young child. There is no family support system. He’s been told he may be deployed within the year. He is out in the field for weeks at a time. What choices does he have?
