Court of Appeals: Infidelity alone doesn't negate alimony award

Where the trial court, in denying alimony, focused only upon the defendant wife's infidelity, her failure to admit her infidelity, and her unjustified attempts to make her husband look like a bad man, the Michigan Court of Appeals held it was reversible error to focus on only 1 of the 12 factors used in determining spousal support.

The COA also reversed the trial court's denial of the wife's request for attorney fees.  See Berry v Berry, Docket No. 273427, decided July 24, 2007. Unpublished.
