Summary

The bill adds new duties for Michigan’s friend‑of‑the‑court offices, including informing parties they can opt out of court‑administered obligations, providing a detailed pamphlet on custody, parenting time and dispute‑resolution options, and offering self‑help forms. It also requires investigations and written recommendations on custody, parenting time, and child‑support matters when the court orders them, with limited fees. The measure is pending committee action and only becomes law if related bills SB 940 and SB 941 also pass.
