AK SB210

Establishes that a parent's military deployment, temporary duty, or mobilization cannot be a factor in initial custody or visitation decisions, except as specifically provided in the statute.

Allows deployed parents to petition courts for custody or visitation orders, including requests to delegate visitation rights to a family member with an existing close relationship to the child if in the child's best interest.

Requires courts to provide temporary modifications to custody or visitation orders during deployment, with automatic resumption of pre-deployment orders within 10 days after deployment ends unless the nondeployed parent proves resumption is no longer in the child's best interest.

Mandates that court orders include provisions for nondeployed parents to make children available for visitation during deployed parent's leave and to facilitate telephonic and electronic contact, including video communication whenever feasible.

Amends Alaska Rules of Civil Procedure to require courts allow video or Internet testimony in custody and visitation hearings involving deployed parents upon the deployed parent's request.
