I know that most parents love their children and would love to have primary custody of their children . . . . .BUT . . . . .Seeking primary custody of a child when one of the parents has been deployed to SERVE THEIR COUNTRY is so very WRONG in so many ways and on so many levels!

"The federal law called the Servicemembers

Civil Relief Act is meant to protect our

military service men and women by staying

civil court actions and administrative

proceedings during military activation.

They can’t be evicted. Creditors can’t seize

their property. Civilian health benefits, if

suspended during eployment, must be

reinstated."

This law MUST be revised to protect military parents who have been activated and deployed so that they can serve our country without having to worry about loosing their children in a totally unfair and unbalanced custody battle.

I am just shocked that this can even happen to our military service members! I am OUTRAGED!!!! They do so much for our country. We should ALL expect for them to be treated better Here in the United States than to be stabbed in the back by our court systems the second that they are activated and deployed.

OUTRAGED!!!!
