324.05 - Notification required by deploying parent.

324.05 Notification required by deploying parent.
(1) Except as provided in sub. (4) and subject to sub. (3), a deploying parent shall, in a record, notify the other parent of a pending deployment not later than 7 days after the deploying parent receives notice of deployment unless reasonably prevented from doing so by the circumstances of deployment. If the circumstances of deployment prevent giving notification within the 7 days, the deploying parent shall give the notification as soon as reasonably possible.
(2) Except as provided in sub. (4) and subject to sub. (3), the deploying parent and the other parent shall, in a record, provide each other with a plan for fulfilling their respective shares of custodial responsibility during deployment. Each parent shall provide the plan as soon as reasonably possible after the deploying parent gives notification of deployment under sub. (1).
(3) If a court order currently in effect prohibits disclosure of the address or contact information of the other parent, notification of deployment under sub. (1) or notification by the deploying parent of a plan for custodial responsibility during deployment under sub. (2) may be made only to the issuing court. If the address of the other parent is available to the issuing court, the court shall forward the notification to the other parent. The court shall keep confidential the address or contact information of the other parent.
(4) Notification in a record under sub. (1) or (2) is not required if the parents are living in the same residence and both parents have actual notice of the deployment or plan.
(5) In a proceeding regarding custodial responsibility, a court may consider the reasonableness of a parent's efforts to comply with this section.
