Bill > H3409

This bill aims to protect the custody rights of parents who are called to active military service. The key provisions include: 1) prohibiting courts from modifying existing custody orders during a parent's active military duty, except for temporary orders if it is in the best interest of the child; 2) requiring courts to reinstate the pre-existing custody order upon the parent's return from active duty; and 3) prohibiting courts from considering the parent's absence due to military duty when determining the best interests of the child in any subsequent custody modification proceedings. This ensures that a parent's military service does not adversely impact their custodial rights.
