COA vacated order awarding Father sole legal custody based on a failure to consider the minor child’s preference.

The MI COA has ruled, for the first time, that the preponderance of the evidence standard applies in Special Immigrant Juvenile proceedings because the statute is silent on this issue.

The plaintiff’s appeal is limited to that portion of the trial court’s order denying her request for attorney fees as a sanction, the Michigan Court of Appeals has ruled.

The trial court didn’t err when it modified the mother’s parenting time, found that a change in circumstances had occurred and that a change in custody was in the child’s best interests.
