Joyce v Joyce

Jodi Latuszek wins QDRO appeal.  In Joyce v Joyce (Docket No. 281175), the COA held that the trial court correctly allowed modification of the JOD where it concluded that the parties made a mutual mistake.  Although opposing counsel argued that the amendment violated the rule in Quade v Quade, the COA agreed that Quade did not preclude relief under MCR 2.612, upon a finding of mistake.  In this instance, the mistake arose out of confusing language regarding GM retirement supplements versus retirement subsidies.
