HB 6263 Michigan House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Family law: child support; payment of child support for a nonbiological child; modify. Amends sec. 2 of 1956 PA 205 (MCL 722.712).

This bill modifies Michigan's paternity laws to clarify how child support obligations apply to nonbiological parents in cases where a parent is not the child's biological parent. It specifically prohibits courts from requiring a parent to pay child support for a child born to married parents if the court determines that parent is not the biological parent. The legislation also updates rules regarding the apportionment of pregnancy and birth medical expenses, particularly when Medicaid is involved or if the pregnancy resulted from sexual or physical battery. Additionally, it ensures that child support orders against a father are enforceable against his estate if he dies before the child reaches adulthood.
