COURT OF APPEALS
In the Matter of C.C., Minor.
FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
April 9, 2002
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 236647
Saginaw Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 00-026639-NA
AMBER TEMPLETON,
Respondent-Appellant,
and
ANTHONY CARDAMONI,
Respondent-Appellee.
Before: Cavanagh, P.J., and Sawyer and O’Connell, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant Amber Templeton appeals as of right from the family court’s July
12, 2001, order awarding physical custody of the minor child to her father, respondent-appellee
Anthony Cardamoni, with parenting time and shared legal custody to respondent-appellant. We
affirm.
On appeal, respondent-appellant argues that the family court erred in granting custody of
the minor child to her father, and that a “de facto” termination of her parental rights occurred as a
result. We disagree. Although respondent-appellant’s parental rights were affected by the trial
court’s dispositional order, her parental rights to the child were not terminated. Further, the
family court possesses broad discretion in fashioning a dispositional order for a child within its
-1-
jurisdiction to protect the child’s best interests. MCL 712A.18(1)(b); MCR 5.973(A)(5)(b); In re
Brown, 171 Mich App 674, 677; 430 NW2d 746 (1988). Therefore, we find no error.
Affirmed.
