Bill > HB2287

This bill enacts the Uniform Deployed Parents Custody and Visitation Act in Pennsylvania, which provides a framework for how child custody and visitation arrangements are handled when a parent is deployed for military service. The key provisions include: - Allowing deployed parents and the other parent to enter into agreements regarding temporary custodial responsibility during deployment, with rules for how to modify or terminate such agreements. - Authorizing courts to issue temporary orders granting custodial responsibility to non-parents, such as family members, during a deployment if it is in the best interest of the child. - Requiring deployed parents to provide notice of their deployment and a plan for fulfilling custodial responsibilities to the other parent. - Specifying procedures for how custodial arrangements revert back to the pre-deployment order once the deployed parent returns. - Repealing existing laws in Pennsylvania regarding child custody proceedings during military deployment and replacing them with the new uniform act.
