Samantha is divorced and has two children, Jacob (age 4) and Sarah (age 9). Having divorced Dr. Timothy Rogers some two years ago, Samantha lost custody after a grueling custody battle. She dislikes speaking of the court proceedings, but loves to talk about her children who now live with their father on Earth.

Samantha originally entered star fleet during her marriage to Timothy Rogers while he was still an officer working at Star Fleet medical. The two had recently eloped after Sarah was born, some two years prior. After receiving a nursing certificate from the academy, Samantha worked at Star Fleet Medical with her ex-husband. Soon afterward she became pregnant for the second time, following a maternity leave her marriage began to fall apart and when she found out her husband was cheating on her, filed for a divorce. Although the affair was never proven, she was given custody of the children.

A year ago, her ex-husband filed for custody after moving to a home in Canada where he had begun a private practice. After some six months of custody hearings she lost custody to her ex-husband. Samantha was later transferred to the Washington. The distance from her children pains her, but she loves to hear from them. Hoping one day she can be near them again.
