Protecting Custody for Deployed Parents

By admin | June 19, 2007

The House of Representatives moved Wednesday, June 6th, to protect deployed service members from losing legal custody of their children. An amendment to the 2008 defense authorization bill, approved by voice vote, prevents states from making permanent custody changes while a service member is deployed on a contingency operation. It also prohibits a court from considering a military member’s deployment as a reason for denying custody. Rep. Michael Turner, R-Ohio, who sponsored the amendment, said he is trying to provide some peace of mind to deployed parents.
