More details to this question:
I want to join the military but I have to give up custody of my daughter to a trusted person. The father’s name is on the certificate and has never been involved. She is 8 months old. This is abandonment. I am moving to AZ from NJ and there is no custody support order or visitation in place. I had not gotten around to doing it. Thank you.

You should speak with a family law attorney who handles military issues, but it sounds like you and the child are in New Jersey, so you would need to speak with someone there who is familiar with New Jersey law. Many states have enacted special statutes regarding parenting issues to encourage folks such as yourself to serve the country.
