What special considerations apply to members of the armed forces?

Utah’s Uniform Deployed Parents Custody, Parent-time, and Visitation Act protects military service members from discrimination based on their status as active military personnel. Among the provisions of the Act is a provision stating that the residence of the deploying parent is not changed by reason of the deployment. This protects the service member from having their existing custody arrangement changed solely because they have been deployed far away from Utah. The Act also prohibits a court from using a parent’s past deployment or possible future deployment itself as a negative factor in determining the best interests of the child during a custody proceeding.
