Divorce Advice for Men | Fathers Rights Divorce | Child Custody

Question:

My wife let our children travel out of state to visit my family while I am deployed overseas so that she could take time to receive help for her various addictions.

I fear for my children's safety while with their mother, and I do not want my family to return them to my wife when she is out of rehab.

What can I do to keep my children safe and with my family until I return home from deployment? Can my family apply for emergency custody of my children?

His erratic and outlandish behavior has garnered Charlie Sheen a massive amount of attention the past week, but it also at least temporarily cost him custody of his children.

Police removed Sheen’s twin boys from his home per a court order issued after his estranged wife said she feared for her life, according to CBS News. Brooke Mueller filed legal papers saying Sheen threatened her with physical violence and stated, "I am in great fear for the children's safety while in his care."

CBS News reports the temporary restraining order prevents Sheen from getting within 100-yards of his twin children for roughly three weeks. (Note: image taken from Sheen's Twitter page.)

Though not as publicized, fathers find themselves frequently defending themselves from accusations of violence as emergency orders are more often used now for strategic reasons in divorce cases.
