NEW LAW HELPS RETURNING NEW YORK MILITARY IN CUSTODY DISPUTES
The return of a military parent from activation or deployment will automatically be considered a ‘substantial change of circumstances’ for the purpose of seeking to modify a custody or visitation order made while the member of the military was away on active duty or deployed
The law takes effect on November 15, 2009.
This new law compliments a law passed in 2008 which requires all custody and visitation orders issues when one parent is on active duty be deemed temporary and subject to revision when the parent returns to civilian life.
