14-09.3-04. (105) Notification required of deploying or redeploying parent
14-09.3-04. (105) Notification required of deploying or redeploying parent
1.
Except as otherwise provided in subsection 4 and subject to subsection 3, a deploying
parent shall notify in a record the other parent of a pending deployment or
redeployment not later than seven days after receiving notice of deployment or
redeployment unless reasonably prevented from doing so by the circumstances of
service. If the circumstances of service prevent giving notification within the seven
days, the deploying or redeploying parent shall give the notification as soon as
reasonably possible.
2.
Except as otherwise provided in subsection 4 and subject to subsection 3, each parent
shall provide in a record the other parent with a plan for fulfilling that parent's share of
custodial responsibility during deployment. Each parent shall provide the plan as soon
as reasonably possible after notification of deployment is given under subsection 1.
3.
If a court order currently in effect prohibits disclosure of the address or contact
information of the other parent, notification of deployment under subsection 1, or
notification of a plan for custodial responsibility during deployment under subsection 2,
may be made only to the issuing court. If the address of the other parent is available to
the issuing court, the court shall forward the notification to the other parent. The court
shall keep confidential the address or contact information of the other parent.
4.
Notification in a record under subsection 1 or 2 is not required if the parents are living
in the same residence and both parents have actual notice of the deployment or plan.
5.
In a proceeding regarding custodial responsibility, a court may consider the
reasonableness of a parent's efforts to comply with this section.
