The father in this termination of parental rights case did not have standing to claim that his child’s attorney provided ineffective assistance of counsel.

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 refused to view and admit video-recorded forensic interviews with the children, who were allegedly abused by their father, the Michigan COA has ruled.

Children in Michigan’s foster-care system have more protections under a bipartisan legislative package recently signed into law by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
