Senate Bill 279 amends the Family Code to authorize a court to render a temporary order regarding possession of or access to a child or child support if the conservator of the child is ordered to military deployment, military mobilization, or temporary military duty that involves moving a substantial distance so as to materially affect the conservator's ability to exercise the conservator's rights and duties in relation to the child. The bill establishes procedures for the appointment of a person to designate the primary residence of a child and a person to exercise visitation in certain circumstances and includes provisions relating to expedited hearings, enforcement of a temporary order, and petitioning for additional periods of possession of or access to a child by a conservator without the exclusive right to designate the primary residence of the child when the conservator's military duty is concluded.
