Michigan HB4217 amends family law to modify grandparenting and great grandparenting time provisions, including conditions for filing, court.

Michigan HB4217 amends sections of the 1970 Michigan Family Law Act to modify grandparenting and great grandparenting time provisions. It sets conditions for filing such requests, including a two-year limit unless good cause is shown. The court must consider various factors, such as the emotional ties between the child and the grandparent, when deciding on grandparenting time. The bill also restricts the court from modifying custody during a parent's deployment unless there is clear and convincing evidence that it is in the child's best interest.
