Michigan Representative Brian Calley (R-Portland) announced today on Get Your Justice Live that he is to introduce a new bill to protect parent-child relationships.The bill, if passed after its upcoming introduction, will establish a presumption that a child would be able to maintain a substantially equal relationship with both their parents after separation, divorce, etc. This presumption would make exceptions for parents convicted of domestic violence or if the court determines by clear and convincing evidence that a parent is unfit, unwilling, or unable to care for the child. This presumption would not apply where a parent moves away and that move-away would interfere with the school schedule for the child.
Michigan Representative Brian Calley suggests “that so many of the problems that we face, be it in criminal justice system, economy, the education system, and so forth can be traced back, those are all symptoms to problems that really start much earlier in life with the breakdown of the family.” I asked the Representative if bringing children under rule of two parents will improve the economy, he certainly agreed and discussed how he thought it would help in the long-term.
