This bill changes Michigan's Child Custody Act to emphasize joint custody and equal parenting time for parents in custody disputes. It requires courts to inform parents of their right to joint custody and a presumption of equal parenting time, and to issue a notice with this information when a custody action is filed. The bill also specifies factors courts must consider when determining parenting time, including prohibiting parenting time for parents convicted of certain criminal sexual conduct offenses against the child or a sibling.
