STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS UNPUBLISHED October 22, 2015 In re AYOTTE/ANDREWS, Minors. No. 325609 Oakland Circuit Court Family Division LC No. 11-782083-NA In re ANDREWS, Minors. No. 325611 Oakland Circuit Court Family Division LC No. 11-782083-NA Before: RONAYNE KRAUSE, P.J., and GLEICHER and STEPHENS, JJ. PER CURIAM. While I agree with all the legal conclusions in the majority opinion, I write separately because I disagree with the manner in which the facts regarding respondent mother are portrayed. My review of the record indicates that respondent mother was a victim of domestic violence and not a perpetrator in any way. She acted in self-defense and filed for a personal protection order following the assault. Additionally, both the trial judge and guardian ad litem indicate that the real concern about respondent mother continuing to have parental rights to her children stems from her substance abuse problem, not because of domestic violence. I agree that the trial court should be affirmed. /s/ Amy Ronayne Krause -1-
