DYKSTRA v. DYKSTRA, 454 Mich. 877 (1997)

560 N.W.2d 640

DYKSTRA v. DYKSTRA

No. 107871.Supreme Court of Michigan.
March 18, 1997.

Leave to Appeal Denied March 18, 1997:

CAVANAGH and BOYLE, JJ.

We would vacate the judgments of the Court of Appeals and the Kent Circuit Court, and remand this case to the circuit court for further proceedings. Where the parties shared physical custody of the minor child during the pendency of their divorce, and lived together as a family for several years before that time, the court did not explain adequately its finding that there was an established custodial environment only with the plaintiff. On remand, we would have the court reassess the entire question of custody. The court should consider all the statutory requirements, including the question of established custodial environment and the “best interest” factors, and should conduct whatever hearings or

other proceedings are necessary to allow it to decide these matters. Fletcher v. Fletcher, 447 Mich. 871, 888-890 (1994).

Court of Appeals No. 189506.
