QUESTION: "does military special power of attorney give the POA rights to the visitations of the kids as previously arranged for parent signing special power of attorney paperwork before being deployed in kansas."
ANSWER: No. Such a document [example: Military Special Power of Attorney] addresses certain matter such as financial and property issues, pursuant to federal law. However, child access (custody, visitation, parenting) is a matter for the Court (civilian) to determine, pursuant to state law. That is always the case, decided pursuant to the "best interests" legal standard. No one, including a member of the military, can assign or "sign over" such rights via this type of document.
I truly hope all works out for you. I know this is a lot to take in, so please do not hesitate to write back. After you select "Accept", our conversation need not end. I would be happy to continue our dialog, without further charge, until you are fully satisfied.

QUESTION: "Military special power of attorney does exist it is standard for a deploying solider to complete especially concerning child care."
ANSWER: Yes, absolutely, I agree with you, no arguments here. However, it does not serve the purpose of governing child custody and such matters. Whomever is telling you so is mistaken...period. The mother (of the biological father) you have mentioned has not legally assumed visitation rights, plain and simple. I am not sure what else to say, but that is how the law operates.
Experience: Relax. Let's work together. Practical solutions.
