Andrew Paul Sabatine v. Colleen Knecht Sabatine

Summary

The Michigan Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals and reinstated the trial court’s custody order, holding that the parenting‑time provision in the judgment of divorce did not modify the children’s established custodial environments and that appellate courts must defer to trial‑court findings unless they are against the great weight of evidence, a palpable abuse of discretion, or a clear legal error.
