Allows parents on short-term deployment to make up missed child custody and visitation time.
This bill provides guidelines for parents who are unable to fulfill court-ordered custody and visitation due to short-term deployment. It defines "short-term deployment" as movement or mobilization for less than 30 days under orders from the military, merchant marine, or other uniformed services. The deploying parent must notify the other parent of the deployment and provide a plan for making up missed custody and visitation time. The plan must be filed with any court that has a child-custody determination in effect.
