The court has to stay the proceeding while your son is in the military. If the other side agrees to finalize the divorce, you could send everything by mail.

Not without court permission. If he can't appear you should contact the Judge's office for direction.

You should speak to your son's attorney regarding his need to appear. Since he is in the military, it may be possible for him to appear by telephone. Prior arrangements would have to be made for a telephone appearance. Again, his attorney should be able to help you.

Your son's lawyer (assuming he has one) should call the Judge's Clerk to confirm if they will allow you, based on the POA, to appear on your son's behalf.
