14-09.3-18. (308) Nature of authority created by temporary custody order
14-09.3-18. (308) Nature of authority created by temporary custody order
1. A grant of authority under sections 14-09.3-11 through 14-09.3-21 is temporary and
terminates under sections 14-09.3-22 through 14-09.3-25 after the return from
deployment of the deploying parent, unless the grant has been terminated before that
time by court order. The grant does not create an independent, continuing right to
caretaking authority, decisionmaking authority, or limited contact in an individual to
whom it is granted.
2. A nonparent granted caretaking authority, decisionmaking authority, or limited contact
under sections 14-09.3-11 through 14-09.3-21 has standing to enforce the grant until it
is terminated by court order or under sections 14-09.3-22 through 14-09.3-25.
