Family law: child custody; factors determining best interest of child; include equal time with both parents as a factor. Amends secs. 3 & 5 of 1970 PA 91 (MCL 722.23 & 722.25). TIE BAR WITH: HB 5212'25, HB 5213'25
This bill changes how child custody is decided in Michigan. It creates a new rule that courts should assume equal parenting time is best for a child unless there is strong evidence against it. The bill also prevents a parent convicted of criminal sexual conduct, or found to have committed nonconsensual sexual acts, from getting custody of a child conceived from those acts or a sibling of that child, with some exceptions.
