THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:

 

     Sec. 7d. (1) If a noncustodial parent who has been granted

state, that parent may petition the court to allow his or her

 

family member to fulfill his or her parenting time as ordered by

     (2) If a petition is filed under subsection (1), the court may

 

enter a temporary order allowing the noncustodial parent who is on

 

active duty outside of this state to assign his or her parenting

 

time to his or her family member if there is clear and convincing

 

evidence that it is in the best interest of the child to do so.

 

Upon the noncustodial parent's return to this state, the court

 

shall reinstate the parenting time order in effect immediately

 

preceding the period of active duty served outside of this state.
