Deployment & Custody

Unfortunately, that has happened to our military personnel, but it shouldn't happen anymore. There is now a law that prevents custody changes from occurring during deployment. But there are other things biological parents should think through: Registering your custody agreement in your current state and deciding how the stepparent should coordinate with the other household while you're deployed. FamilyLife Blended, together with The Military Ready Stepfamily, offers support to military families.
