The Michigan Supreme Court issued an order regarding the case of Marc Hershfus v. Tonya Hershfus on June 6, 2008. The Court reviewed an application for leave to appeal the Court of Appeals' judgment from December 27, 2007. Instead of granting leave, the Court remanded the case to the trial court to establish a parenting time schedule that accommodates the plaintiff's religious observances, aligning with the agreed terms about the child's upbringing. The Court denied leave to appeal on all other matters, as it was not persuaded that additional review was warranted. Justice Corrigan dissented, expressing concern over the contentious nature of the child custody dispute. She argued against remanding the case, suggesting that both parties have used the litigation to attack each other, which has negatively impacted their son. She emphasized the need for the parties to prioritize their child's best interests rather than continuing their adversarial behavior, and she feared that the remand could lead to further conflict. Justice Weaver concurred with Justice Corrigan's dissent. The Clerk of the Michigan Supreme Court, Corbin R. Davis, certified the order.
