According to Florida's recent legislation concerning temporary and concurrent custody of a child, effective July 1, 2010, military parents can feel that they are not losing any important parental rights knowing that the bill states:
-Parents assigned to military service on orders may designate a person to exercise time-sharing on that parent's behalf.
-Parents assigned to military service may petition for expedited hearings.
-Requires non-military parent to cooperate to resolve issues and share information regarding the child.
-Protects military parents that object to custody modifications and allows them to state their objection formally, prior to any final order being awarded.
-States that any order granting concurrent custody does not affect ability of the other parent to obtain physical custody of child at any time.
