Active Military May Get Child Custody Stays

Rep. Ujvagi of Toledo introduced H.B. 503, "to prohibit a juvenile court from making custody determinations or modifications in a case in which one of the parents is called to active military service with any reserve component of the United States armed forces or Ohio militia."

The proposed legislation, introduced February 7, 2006, would amend part of the Domestic Relations - Children title, Ohio Revised Code §§ 3109.04 and 3109.041.
