AMBER ELIZABETH ADAMS,                                              UNPUBLISHED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.

                                                -1-
