Family law: child support; payment of child support for a nonbiological child; modify in the child custody act of 1970. Amends secs. 6a & 7 of 1970 PA 91 (MCL 722.26a & 722.27).
HB 6262 amends Michigan's Child Custody Act to clarify that a parent is not financially responsible for child support if the court determines the child is not their biological child. The bill also reinforces existing rules stating that an order for joint custody alone does not automatically change a parent's child support obligations. By explicitly removing liability for nonbiological children, the legislation aims to provide clearer legal guidance in custody disputes involving paternity issues.
