In relevant part:

Vodvarka standard applies to both custody and parenting time modifications
In Stelman v Stelman, Docket No. 294105 [Unpublished August 3, 2010], the Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court’s order denying his motion to modify a parenting-time schedule, refusing him an evidentiary hearing. The plaintiff there claimed that because he sought only a modification of parenting time, rather than a full change of custody, he was not obligated to demonstrate
proper cause or a change in circumstances.
The COA disagreed, holding that the Vodvarka standard, relying upon and citing its previous holding that the Child Custody Act governs parenting-time determinations as well as true custody decisions. Terry v Affum (On Remand), 237 Mich App 522, 533-534 (1999).

Prosecutor to appeal order in Mikko case
Judge says motion was filed improperly
By ART BUKOWSKI abukowski@record-eagle.com abukowski@record-eagle.com Fri Sep 17, 2010, 07:25 AM EDT
CHARLEVOIX — A judge ordered the Grand Traverse Prosecutor's office to pay $1,000 to an attorney who represents former 13th Circuit Court referee Dennis Mikko.
Charlevoix Circuit Judge Richard Pajtas said Al Schneider's office improperly filed a motion to reinstate two charges against Mikko. Pajtas granted defense attorney Craig Elhart the money to compensate for his work in responding to the
motion.
Schneider initially charged Mikko with 11 criminal counts tied to pictures of what police said were nude underage girls. The pictures were found in a briefcase under Mikko's office desk, and Pajtas eventually threw out all but two of the charges when he determined most of the images didn't amount to child pornography.

Assistance for grandparents and others providing kinship care
Lately, I've written about grandparents providing kinship care for their grandchildren. Usually, but not always, this occurs in connection with relative placement where the parents have been involved in child protective services cases, and in family courts in neglect and abuse cases. In the latter, relative placement is always preferred to placement in foster care with non-relatives.
In 2009, the state legislature passed 2009 Public Act 0015, amended in 2008 Act. PA 0015 became effective April 9, 2009.
It amends the Guardianship Assistance Act (MCL 722.871–MCL 722.881) to do the following:
