MI HB5860

Requires biological fathers to pay not less than 50% of a mother's pregnancy expenses, including health insurance premiums and medical costs related to pregnancy, with the court able to order payment of more than 50% based on father's ability to pay.

Establishes that pregnancy expenses are calculated as the sum of health insurance premiums not covered by employer or government programs and medical costs related to pregnancy, minus any amounts already paid by either parent.

Allows courts to apportion medical expenses between parents based on ability to pay when Medicaid has not covered expenses, and requires fathers to repay Medicaid for covered expenses through the state disbursement unit.

Provides that if a father marries the mother after the child's birth and provides marriage documentation to the friend of the court, his obligation for unpaid medical expenses is abated unless reinstated for good cause.

Adds income withholding enforcement provisions when a father becomes delinquent in paying pregnancy expenses and clarifies that bills and actuarially-based case rates for medical expenses are admissible without third-party foundation testimony.
