Michigan Supreme Court
Bridget Lee Bofysil v. Sarah Lynne Bofysil
July 9, 2021
Summary
The Court denied leave to appeal, declining to review the lower appellate judgment. Justice Viviano dissented, asserting that the Court of Appeals improperly substituted its factual judgments for those of the trial court, applied the wrong standard to the established-custodial-environment finding, misapplied the best-interest factors, and imposed an unsupported remand requirement concerning alternative communication methods. Justice Viviano would have affirmed in part, vacated in part, and reversed in part.
