Bill overview
This bill modifies Michigan law regarding family law proceedings, specifically concerning parenting time and mediation. It clarifies that courts should not automatically submit contested issues in domestic relations cases – such as custody or parenting time – if a personal protection order exists or if a child abuse or neglect proceeding is underway. The bill also requires mediators to screen for potential coercion or violence during mediation to ensure participant safety and a voluntary resolution.
