December 14, 2023If one parent is deployed by the military, how will that affect the custody order?
If either parent is a service member in the military, and the service member has been or will be called to active duty in the U.S. armed forces, the judge can modify an order of physical placement based on this. However, the order will state that immediately upon the service member’s discharge or release from active duty, the order will go back to how it was before the parent left for military duty.1
