Opinion

STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS

AMBER ELIZABETH ADAMS, UNPUBLISHED December 6, 2018 Plaintiff-Appellant, v No. 343170 Wayne Circuit Court STEPHEN CHARLES ADAMS, II, LC No. 17-101934-DM Defendant-Appellee.

Before: SHAPIRO, P.J., and CAVANAGH and K. F. KELLY, JJ.

SHAPIRO, P.J. (concurring).

In addition to remanding for findings on the best-interest factors, I would remand also for findings as to spousal support. As the majority notes, the trial court denied spousal support without explanation.1 Without such findings, I do not think we can find that the decision was fair and equitable. In all other respects, I concur with my colleagues.

/s/ Douglas B. Shapiro

It also appears that the trial court likely erred by ordering that spousal support would be nonmodifiable, but this aspect of the judgment of divorce was not challenged on appeal.
