AI Summary
This bill, titled the "Michigan Shared Parenting Act," amends the existing Child Custody Act of 1970 to establish a presumption of joint legal custody and substantially equal parenting time between parents, unless one parent demonstrates clear and convincing evidence that this arrangement would likely materially compromise the child's health, safety, or well-being. The bill also provides procedures for determining and maintaining established custodial environments, as well as specific requirements and considerations for modifying parenting time and child custody arrangements. Additionally, the bill places restrictions on a parent's ability to change a child's legal residence and requires the court to consider various factors before permitting such a change.
