Family law: child custody; deferred domestic violence charges; allow to be considered in cases of child custody. Amends sec. 4a, ch. IV of 1927 PA 175 (MCL 769.4a).

This bill allows courts to use records of deferred domestic violence charges as evidence when deciding child custody and parenting time cases. It requires courts to make these previously sealed records available to judges and the parties involved in custody disputes to help determine the best interests of the child. The legislation does not change how domestic violence cases are handled but instead ensures that past deferred charges are visible in family court proceedings.
