Family law: child custody; verified affidavit in custody orders; require. Amends sec. 209 of 2001 PA 195 (MCL 722.1209).

This bill requires parents involved in child custody cases in Michigan to submit a verified statement detailing the child's living history and any related legal proceedings. Specifically, each party must disclose the child's current and past addresses, names of previous caregivers, and information about any other custody cases, domestic violence orders, or adoption proceedings that could impact the current case. The law also mandates that parties continuously update the court if new relevant legal actions arise and allows judges to pause the case if this information is not provided. Additionally, the bill includes a provision to protect sensitive information regarding health, safety, or liberty by sealing it unless a judge determines disclosure is necessary for justice.
