my wife/ex took me to german court while i was stationed there (wife was born in Oregon, i was born in illinois, son was born in germany but with soc card and us passport) under the reasons for divorce she claimed that my 15 month deployment constituted abandonment (lived in the house i payed rent on and had a joint checking account at the time, which she cleared out for her BF). it went to court with only a month for me to prep and i chose to argue jurisdiction (all americans and married in the state of ohio not to mention the SOFA agreement) my lawyer was told to shut and they agreed with my ex that i had abandoned them by serving in iraq and gave her sole custody. im now back in the us, she's in german and refusing to let me see my son.
does anyone know a way to fight this? does this divorce even count in american court? god i need help. i love my son. i dont care about my ex or revenge for all the pain she's caused, i just want him back here in the states where i can see him.
