The trial court in this child-protective proceeding did not “articulate an adequate basis or make sufficient factual findings to justify its denial of jurisdiction” over the minor child, the Michigan Court of Appeals has ruled.

The termination of the respondents’ parental rights must be vacated because the trial court didn’t properly conduct the adjudication hearing in the case.

The trial court properly exercised jurisdiction over the child, but did not have the authority to order visits between the child and her maternal siblings.

The trial court erroneously ordered that the children in this case be removed from their mother’s care based on medical neglect.

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.

The Michigan trial court dismissed the custody case in Michigan, finding that under the UCCJEA jurisdiction was proper in Georgia because the Georgia case had been filed first.

In People v Tennyson, the MSC held that the possession of drugs and firearms, by itself, was not legally sufficient to support the defendant's conviction under MCL 750.145.

The Michigan Supreme Court granted leave in Foster v Wolkowitz. The Court will address: (1) whether the Court of Appeals erred in relying on the Michigan Acknowledgement of Parentage Act (MAPA) rather than the UCCJEA.
