Bill Summary
Relative to the modification of custody orders involving parents called to active military service. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill aims to protect child custody arrangements when a parent is called to active military duty by preventing courts from changing a child's placement during that parent's service, unless there's clear evidence it's in the child's best interest to issue a temporary order. When the service member returns, the original custody order will be reinstated, and their absence due to military duty will not be held against them in any future custody decisions. This applies to various sections of Massachusetts General Laws related to domestic relations and child custody.
