A Michigan trial court has been instructed to scrutinize whether a divorce settlement is unenforceable because the mediator in the case did not conduct the domestic violence screening.

In this divorce action, the trial court properly held that a postnuptial agreement the parties had entered into did not violate public policy and was enforceable, the Michigan Court of Appeals has ruled.

A settlement agreement signed by the parties in this divorce action was valid and enforceable, even though the mediator did not conduct any domestic violence screening.

Kevin Clark and Erica Kosinski had a child together. Their tumultuous relationship ended in a child custody dispute.
