Official statutory text
Following a deploying parent’s receiving notice of deployment,
either a deploying parent or nondeploying parent may request an
expedited hearing to be heard within ten (10) days or prior to
deployment, whichever occurs first, on any matter pertaining to
custodial or visitation responsibility. The application shall
include the date on which the deployment began or begins. If the
date of deployment is uncertain, the approximate date shall be
included. The court shall grant a request for an expedited hearing

if the deploying parent’s ability, or anticipated ability, to appear
in person at a regularly scheduled hearing would be prevented by the
deployment or preparation for the deployment. If the deployed or
deploying parent is seeking the right to designate a family member
to determine visitation, then the name of the family member or
another person with a close and substantial relationship to the
child shall be stated in the application.
