Does the petitioner in a divorce have to be at the court hearing or can someone with Power of Attorney go in their place?

A power of attorney does not give you permission to testify as to facts known to your son. There are federal and state statutes that relieve military personnel from court appearances due to their service obligations. I suggest you hire a lawyer.

Yes, your wife can divorce you. You may want to start the proceedings here though, and very soon, so that the court here has jurisdiction. She cannot touch your social security payments because of Federal law, although if you are receiving any payments on behalf of your children, they might be used for child support. If you want to keep the children, you must ask the court to give you custody. In Idaho, the courts are required to maintain the parental relationship unless it would cause harm to the child. But again, in Idaho, one party cannot move out of state with the children without the agreement of the other parent or a court order. In that case, the court must find that it is in the best interests of the child to move. It doesn't sound like your pension is subject to community property, but it may be subject to child support.
