With the often unpredictable service schedule of military members and the distance that can often occur due to base changes, careful consideration must be given to the child’s best interest and in formulating a parenting plan that addresses these issues.  For some, it may also be necessary to address concerns regarding Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
