Description
Virginia Military Parents Equal Protection Act; creation. Creates the Virginia Military Parents Equal Protection Act which limits a court's ability to permanently modify orders regarding the custody, visitation, or support of a child due to changed circumstances resulting from one parent's military service. Any modifications made to such orders are only effective for the length of the parent's military service. The bill defines military service as a combat deployment, contingency operation, or natural disaster requiring the use of orders that do not permit any family member to accompany a parent who is in the military. The bill also imposes a duty on the parent not in the military to accommodate the rights and leave schedule of the other parent. Read the Bill »
