I have a few questions, I've done research but have not seen any relevant information or answers. I'm seeking advice of members, more so, from mothers with young children who've gone through the Canadian Forces...
A bit of back ground, my separation situation is less than ideal at the moment and I have contacted a lawyer in regards to this.
I have been separated for 4 years now and the relationship between ex and I is tumultuous, father's decisions and lifestyle have made me cringe at times, but we still have a 50/50 agreement.
Now on my end, I'm a college graduate in social work services and penal justice and in search of work, good pay and benefits but with my studies I'm looking at really crappy, well, everything...I recently saw that the Canadian Forces are in need of Social Workers.
I understand that for my initial training (15 weeks) I would be away from home. And would need to study in University but my questions are:
After initial training, I'm I able to choose the University where I can study (closer to home)?
Will the Army take into account that I have a 50/50 custody agreement prior to posting me anywhere in Canada?
Would I have to temporarily sign over custody to say, my mother or spouse in order for S5 to see my family?
If you've gone through these motions don't hesitate to reply and tell me how your career in the Forces and being a parent has been for you!
(I am going to the recruitment office as well, but it's always nice to have first hand accounts and experiences)
Thanks in advance!
