Of course an MP can become a civilian police officer after military service. He or she applies just as one without any police experience would apply.

To answer this question three assumptions had to be made. (1) The questioner is the ciivilian spouse of a service member - (2) the civilian spouse is involved in a custody battle with THEIR former spouse (also a civilian) over their joint children - (3) the children involved are not the offspring of the service member and their civilian spouse. Offhand I am of the opinion that if the service member is not DIRECTLY involved as a party to this legal action, the Air Force lawyers will probably not be able to assist you. HOWEVER - this does not stop you from approaching the base legal officer's office and asking what help, if any, might be available. At the very least, perhaps they can refer you to a civilian attorney who can assist you.
