hi

you could certainly get joint "legal" custody where you would have input in all legal matters.

but living out of state you would more than likely be awarded visitation which would consist of say special holidays, summer vacations and that sort of thing. this is based on the fact that it is impossible to do a shared custody arrangement where a child splits a few days with each parent.

hi

as i stated, joint "legal" and joint "physical" are two different things. i do not know how the military will view a visitation situation as opposed to joint physical custody. i will need to have your question moved to military and an expert there can assist you with that information.

i can only explain what you requested here pertaining to you getting joint or shared physical custody

hi

excellent - especially if your wife is not going to dispute it. you can have joint legal wherein you two will consult each other in important matters involving your child. neither of you would be able to make a unilateral decision without agreeing on the issue -

additionally, you could be granted the visitation rights that i explained.

hi

yes, i can do that - or you can repost that portion of your question - dealing with how the housing money will be appropriated if you only have joint Legal custody with visitation in the military law section. whichever you prefer. let me know.
