§ 4612 — Nature of authority created by agreement

(a) Temporary.--

(1) An agreement entered into under this subchapter is temporary and terminates under Subchapter D (relating to return from deployment) after the deploying parent returns from deployment unless the agreement has been terminated before that time by court order or by the parents under section 4613 (relating to modification or termination of agreement).

(2) The agreement does not create an independent, continuing right to caretaking authority, legal custody or limited contact in an individual to whom custodial responsibility is given.

(b) Standing.--A nonparent who was granted caretaking authority, legal custody or limited contact by an agreement entered into under this subchapter has standing to enforce the agreement until it has been terminated by court order, by the parents under section 4613 or Subchapter D.
