Please Sign this petition in Support of Service Member Family Protection Act Servicemembers risk their lives in support of the contingency operations that keep our nation safe. State courts should not be allowed to use a servicemember’s previous deployments or the possibility of future deployments when making child custody determinations. Our Servicemen and women and should never be in the position of having to choose between their country and their family. We owe it to them to provide uniform legal standards regarding child custody - Mike Turner Link to the Bill: turner.house.gov/uploadedfiles/hr_4201.pdf The “H.R.” in H.R. 4201 means this is a House of Representatives bill. A bill must be passed by both the House and Senate in identical form and then be signed by the president to become law. a) If a judge orders temporary custody based on military deployment, then at the end of deployment the previous custody order must be reinstated, unless the court finds that this is not in the best interest of the child. b) Deployment or Time of Service may NOT be a factor in deciding on the child’s best interest in setting or modifying custody rights. https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/supporters-mike-turners-servicemember-family-protection-act/B2DlMK7l
