(1) An agreement granting custodial responsibility during deployment is temporary and terminates after the deploying parent returns from deployment unless the agreement has been terminated in a record or by a written agreement signed by both the deploying parent and the other parent, or, in the absence of such a record or agreement, by court order or under s. 61.761, or modified under s. 61.725. The agreement does not in any way create an independent, continuing right to caretaking authority, decisionmaking authority, or limited contact for an individual granted custodial responsibility.
(2) An agreed-upon nonparent granted temporary custodial responsibility or limited contact by agreement has standing only to enforce the agreement until it is terminated in a record or by a written agreement signed by both the deploying parent and the other parent, or, in the absence of such a record or agreement, by court order or under s. 61.761, or modified under s. 61.725.
