I was featured on CNNs This is life with Lisa Ling.
I wish I could be on national TV for a more cheerful subject...
This is why I need a well known civil rights attorney, to get my kids back. My judge violated almost all of me and my children's constitutional rights and also even violated the SCRA, Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, while I was serving on Active Duty at FORSCOM HQ, the highest 4-star command in the Army. Essentially, the Judge continued with court even though they knew I was on title 10 active duty & they did not provide me with a lawyer to represent me.

There's more to the story than this. The case was originally filed in 2015, about 3 years after the marriage, but wasn't finalized until Feb 2019. Since that date there have been a flurry of motions, including a couple of motions for contempt. Based on the public court records, it looks like there were plenty of opportunities to employ counsel.

Also, the SCRA only grants a 90-day stay to notify the service member. Anything after that has to be asked for, and the court does not have to grant it. After that, there are procedures that the service member has to follow precisely to use the benefits of the act.
