     257B.02 Application of other law; construction. 

    Chapters 257 and 518 and sections 524.5-101 to 524.5-502 
 apply to standby custodians, temporary custodians, 
 co-custodians, custodians, and alternates unless otherwise 
 specified in this chapter. 

    Nothing in this chapter may be construed to deprive a 
 parent of any parental rights or responsibilities.  A designator 
 does not lose any custodial rights by the appointment of a 
 standby or temporary custodian. 

    Nothing in this chapter may be construed to relieve any 
 parent of a duty to support the parent's children.  A 
 preexisting child support order is not suspended or terminated 
 during the time a child is cared for by a standby or temporary 
 custodian, unless otherwise provided by court order.  A standby 
 custodian or temporary custodian has a cause of action for child 
 support against an absent parent under section 256.87, 
 subdivision 5.
