Proposal would protect custody rights during deployments

Proposal would protect custody rights during deployments - The Federal Eye - The Washington Post:

Legislation introduced in the House on Friday would protect child custody arrangements of deployed military service members.The bill, introduced by Rep. Michael Turner (R-Ohio), would prohibit a judge from considering certain military deployments in determining the best interest of the child. Also, if custody were temporarily transferred to another person during a service member’s deployment, arrangements would return to pre-deployment status upon his or her return.
