Opinion

AMD File No. 2007-02.

March 14, 2007.

On order of the Court, the following correction of Rule 7.202 of the Michigan Court Rules is made, effective May 1, 2007.

[The present language is amended as indicated below.]

Rule 7.202 Definitions

For purposes of this subchapter:

(1)-(4) [Unchanged.]

(5) "custody case" means a domestic relations case in which the custody of a minor child is an issue, an adoption case, or a case in which the juvenile division of probate court family division of circuit court has entered an order terminating parental rights or an order of disposition removing a child from the child's home;

(6) [Unchanged.]

Staff Comment: This change reflects the fact that after court reorganization accomplished pursuant to MCL 600.1001 et seq., cases involving the termination of parental rights are handled by the family division of circuit court, and not by the juvenile division of probate court.

The staff comment is not an authoritative construction by the Court.
