**Summary Narrative: Proposed Use of FFY 2000 Funds**

**In partnership with Michigan's State Court Administrative Office, the
Office of Child Support proposes the development of three separate
program activities funded through the Child Access and Visitation Grant
Program. Below are the details on the three proposed program areas.**

1.  **Friend of the Court Role in Custody Choices/Videotape: With
    funding from the 1998 grant, the State Court Administrative Office
    was able to develop comprehensive Parenting Time Guidelines. The
    Parenting Time Guidelines address issues relating to joint custody,
    supervised parenting establishment, and modification and enforcement
    of parenting time agreements. A companion video was developed for
    staff and parents that depict real cases and parenting time issues
    associated with them. A similar videotape if proposed for
    development with FY 2000 grant funds. The new video would focus on
    the custody choices available to parents and educating parents on
    the role of the friend of the court offices in evaluating cases to
    make recommendations concerning custody. This project will enable
    the State Court Administrative Office to provide further education
    and training to the friend of the court staff and judges, as well as
    parents.**

2.  **Development of a Regional Supervised Parenting Time Center: The
    objective of this program is to provide additional resources to
    non-custodial parents with a supervised parenting time order. A
    parent, who has a domestic relations action with a minor child (this
    includes divorce, paternity, and custody), with a provision for
    supervised parenting time will be eligible to participate in this
    program. An additional option under consideration would be the
    creation of a Family Division Center that would provide supervised
    parenting services to abuse and neglect cases. The Supervised
    Parenting Time Center would operate in a location that could
    potentially serve the population of several counties as a regional
    center. Several jurisdictions with a region will be selected to
    administer this program, which may be partnered with a nonprofit
    agency. The objective is to select those projects that represent and
    serve the diverse population of Michigan.**

3.  **Funding for New Programs and Renewal Programs: A portion of the
    grant will be available to renew previously funded programs.**
