Question

The mother of my child and I are not married. She is an officer in the Navy and I have found out if anything happens to her, she is trying to give her retirement benefits and death benefit to the child's grandfather. She is also trying to keep me from having custody of our child if anything happens to her. By law can she legally do that?

Answer

Sure, as long as you sit back and do nothing about it.
