I think that because my husband was in the military I have a very fair deal with how to handle the custody of the children. I am not at all surprised to learn that I got full custody because my ex husband is rarely home to begin with. I also did not have a problem getting child support awarded to me. What I am having a problem with now though is collecting it but it will not be a problem much longer. All I need to do is file paperwork with his supervisor and it will automatically be deducted from his paycheck.
