Varran v. Granneman, 10/13/15 Michigan Court of Appeals decision affirmed that the Michigan Grand-parenting Time Statute passes constitutional muster under the U.S. Supreme Court standard set forth in the Troxel case, 530 U.S. 57 (2000), requiring deference to the fit parent's preference and fundamental constitutional right to control who associates with their child, does not require expert mental health professional testimony to meet the grandparent's preponderance burden of that denying grandparenting time would create a substantial risk of harm to the child, and makes clear that a denial of a grandparenting motion can be a final order appealable by right.
