Modifying or terminating grant of custodial responsibility to nonparent
When a parent is deployed in the military, a court can change or end any temporary custody or visitation arrangements given to a non-parent, as long as it is best for the child. Any changes made during deployment are temporary and end when the deployed parent comes back, unless a court ends them sooner. If the deployed parent asks the court to end a non-parent's limited visiting rights, the court must do so.
