Section 30-3B-304. Temporary visitation

(a) A court of this state which does not have jurisdiction to modify a child custody determination, may issue a temporary order enforcing:

(1) A visitation schedule made by a court of another state;
(2) The visitation provisions of a child custody determination of another state that does not provide for a specific visitation schedule; or
(3) The visitation provision of a child custody determination of another state by implementing makeup or substitute visitation.

(b) If a court of this state makes an order under subsection (a)(2) or subsection (a)(3), it shall specify in the order a period that it considers adequate to allow the petitioner to obtain an order from a court having jurisdiction under the criteria specified in Article 2. The order remains in effect until an order is obtained from the other court or the period expires.
