I have heard that JAG may help service people with these kinds of issues, so I suggest you check on that. What you may have to do, however, is get the jump on her and file for divorce yourself, and at the same time file for emergency temporary custody and visitation orders, to get the orders in place before your leave. Be sure to preserve anything where she says she won't let you see your son. Those can be used against her in all future custody and visitation proceedings.
