Will deploying affect my ability to get custody of my child?

Kentucky judges cannot consider your deployment by itself to decide what is in the best interests of your child. This is true for past deployments and for any possible future deployments. However, the judge can consider any significant impact your military deployment may have on your child’s best interests.1
