I have been going through visitation problems with my son's mother ever since I can remember. After moving state to state she finally married a military man and now the moving has increased. Currently I reside in <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:State w:st="on">Maryland</st1:State> and she resides in <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Mississippi</st1:place></st1:State>. The last time I saw, got to keep and spend time with my son was after hurricane Katrina in which she asked would I keep him until they got back on their feet which of course I agreed to. These days she comes in town unannounced with my son and I have to hear through someone else they are here. Currently she sent our son to stay with my mother for the summer. My mother having full rights while he is here arranged so I can spend weekends with him, which I am very grateful. He has grown so much and it's like I have to get to know him all over again but the love still remains the same. The major problem now is upon his return he will be moving overseas to <st1:place w:st="on">GUAM</st1:place> in August! He mentioned this to me over our phone conversations but I had no idea it would be this soon. Also she has yet to personally tell me she is planning to move. I would not approve signing a visa for her due t non visitation so I don't know how they pulled this off. He wants to live with me who he has stated to me a few years ago also but I could not do so at the time which really upset her and created more drama. My son is now 12 years old and could tell the judge this face to face if needed. Please help me get something going here because I already missed so much of his life due to ignorance. He is my only child so I don't want to see him go! I live with my fiancé and my stepson in a great neighborhood with the best educational system in <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Maryland</st1:place></st1:State>. My way of raising him does not consist of beating him with a count reflecting his age, 11 years, 11 lashes as he told me, and I do not sit around and play video games like a kid myself unlike his stepfather. My sons character, demine and behavior has changed dramatically and not in a positive manner. I want Sole legal/physical custody.

P.S.
His mother is currently expecting a newborn baby after losing her baby a year ago so I am hoping this would dull some of her ignorance and fear of being alone since her husband did not.
