In this case where the father is in boot camp and has left the children with you then yes i would file for tempory custody while he is gone. The court has already allowed you at one time to have tempory custody and there should be no reason why you should not be allowed to take it again. You could of had the father sign a consent form giving you consent to allow you to file for legal guardianship,that may still be an option. You call try to call him or write and see what he says about this.
