Bill overview
This bill modifies the Michigan Child Custody Act to clarify rules regarding parenting time, specifically addressing grandparenting and great-grandparenting rights. It updates definitions related to military deployment and family relationships, and establishes a process for grandparents and great-grandparents to seek visitation with their grandchildren under certain circumstances. The bill also addresses how courts should consider a parent’s deployment status when making custody decisions and clarifies the presumption of a parent’s decision to deny grandparenting time.
