In re Miller

In In re Miller, 167 Mich App 75; 422 NW2d 1 (1988), the trial court concluded that there was no reasonable likelihood that the father could provide the necessary emotional support and parenting skills for the child within a reasonable time as defined by the particular statutory subsection that was relevant in that case. Id. at 79. However, the record not only documented the father's progress in therapy and other services, his therapist testified that he would be able to provide all necessary support for the child within twelve months. Id. at 80. The Court reversed, noting the evidence of the father's progress, the therapist's estimate that the father would soon be ready to care for the child, and that the familial problems really were between the parents, not between the father and child. Id. at 80-81.
