Understanding Visitation Rights for Deployed Parents
Hello, my name is Dillan Savage of Wirth Law Office – Oklahoma City. Today we are going to be talking about the Oklahoma Deployed Parent Custody and Visitation Act. This act provides important protections for deployed individuals, which can include safeguarding your visitation rights.
If you are a member of the military facing deployment and are concerned about maintaining your child’s relationship with family or loved ones, there are legal avenues to address these worries. The Oklahoma Deployed Parent Custody and Visitation Act allows deployed parents to transfer their visitation rights to a qualified stepparent or family member.
Key Protections Under the Act
This act is specifically designed to preserve the bonds between children and their family members during a parent’s deployment. It enables military parents who are deployed or on mandatory leave, which qualifies as a deployment, to ensure that their visitation rights are upheld even in their absence.
By allowing a transfer of visitation rights, the act aims to maintain the emotional and familial connections that are crucial for children during these challenging times. This mechanism not only supports the child’s well-being but also provides peace of mind to the deployed parent.
