In this case involving custody, parenting time and civil contempt, the Michigan Court of Appeals ruled that it did not have jurisdiction over the father’s appeal from his civil contempt proceedings, and also held the trial court properly denied the father’s motion to reinstate joint legal custody and modify parenting time.

The Michigan Supreme Court recently denied leave to appeal in a parenting-time case – with one justice issuing her own concurrence, explaining how the trial court “failed to comply” with the Child Custody Act.
