A trial court’s order reducing an award of spousal support must be vacated because the reduced award was inequitable in light of all the circumstances, the Michigan Court of Appeals has ruled.

The Court of Appeals released a published opinion addressing spousal support and attorney fees in divorce cases in Myland v Myland.

In In re Contempt of Henry, a published opinion of the COA, the Court addressed a criminal contempt matter arising from appellant, attorney Kathy Henry’s, involvement with her brother, defendant Charles Henry’s, post-divorce judgment child support enforcement case.

Getting stuck with joint liability for attorneys’ fees after a reversal in the COA is like being saddled with the dinner tab after a bad date - no fair.

Recently, the Court of Appeals took on an interesting battle between attorney and former client in Seyburn v Bakshi, where Law Firm was suing its Former Client for unpaid legal fees.

The Michigan Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals' award of attorneys fees to the in pro per attorney under the Open Meetings Act in Omdahl v. West Iron Board of Education.
