Bill > H1742

This bill aims to address child custody arrangements for military personnel. It defines key terms such as "deployment," "mobilization," and "temporary duty" related to military service. The bill states that a parent's absence, relocation, or failure to comply with custody and visitation orders due to military activation, deployment, or temporary duty cannot be considered in modifying custody or visitation orders. The bill also allows the court to issue temporary custody or visitation orders, delegate visitation rights to family members, or permit the deployed parent to present testimony and evidence electronically to account for the unique circumstances faced by military parents.
