FL H0025

Allows military parents activated, deployed, or temporarily assigned for more than 90 days to designate a family member, stepparent, or relative by marriage to exercise time-sharing on their behalf, with written notice to the other parent at least 10 working days in advance.

Permits the other parent to object to the designee only on grounds that the designation is not in the child's best interest, and requires expedited court hearings if parents cannot reach agreement.

Establishes "concurrent custody" as a new option allowing extended family members to be awarded custodial rights alongside the child's parent or parents, which does not eliminate or diminish parental custodial rights.

Requires concurrent custody orders to include a statement that parents retain the ability to obtain physical custody at any time, and allows either parent to terminate concurrent custody by objection with conversion to temporary custody proceedings available if both parents consent.

Modifies child support provisions for military service situations, allowing courts to enter temporary support orders, require enrollment of children as military dependents, or suspend/abate child support obligations until the original custody order is reinstated.
