F&F: Deployment Disrupts Parenting

Article here. Excerpt:

'The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and the resulting military deployments have significantly affected our service members and their families. These deployments have sometimes caused considerable disruptions in existing child custody and visitations arrangements between the parents. Current California law provides that upon return from deployment any temporary custody order issued during the deployment reverts back to the prior order.

AB 1807, sponsored by Representative Paul Cook, passed the House without a single ‘no’ vote. It clarifies the law protecting custodial arrangements for deploying parents to better protect the custodial rights of our servicemen and women, while still ensuring the best interest of children.'
