Re: Divorce
The decision would be made by a court with jurisdiction over the child. Your daughter or her husband would start the process by filing for divorce in that state, and then seeking orders for child custody and visitation. Which state has jurisdiction depends on more facts than you have provided. But military personnel assigned to a base outside their home state usually retain residence in their home state. So, if your daughter's home state is not TN, another state may have jurisdiction. But she should start by consulting an attorney in TN.
