Divorce lawyers will be adding additional required
language to their judgments of divorce and parenting time provisions dealing
with removing minor children to certain countries.
Recent Michigan legislation enacted on January 9, 2013,
requires that parenting time provisions, most often found in judgments of
divorce when minor children are involved and legal documents required in
resolving custody disputes, must contain additional language addressing the
prohibition on exercising parenting time in a country that is not in accord
with the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child
Abduction.
The legislation, Public Act 600 of 2012, amends the Child
Custody Act, MCL 7.22.27a, and requires the inclusion of specific proscriptions
or a written consent by both parents, relative to removing the minor children
to a country that has not signed the Hague Convention.
Divorce attorneys must ensure that their judgments and
parenting time documents now contain the required language. The new required language is a simple
addition and addresses a very important, and often overlooked, issue when it
comes to parenting time taking place in another country.
We here at the Electronic Divorce Attorney recommend

regarding the signatory countries to the Hague Convention on Civil Aspects of
International Child Abduction, check out the State Department website.
If you are handling your divorce or custody case without a
lawyer, the State Court Administrative Office (SCAO) website has updated
Michigan forms (FOC 67 and FOC 89) that include the newly required language.
