While the appeal was pending, the juvenile court modified its order, releasing A.B.W. from the Academy and placing her on probation in her mother's custody, which was the relief A.B.W. had originally requested. The appellate court dismissed the appeal as moot, finding that no practical effect would result from a judgment on the merits and no exceptions to the mootness doctrine applied.","primaryTopic":"appellate-procedure","topicSlugs":["appellate-procedure","family-law","child-custody","civil-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"dismissed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=192770","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/in-the-interest-of-abw-juvenile-officer-v-abw-d85049","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"family","label":"Family Law","href":"/practice-areas/family","score":32,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: family-law","topic: family-law","topic: child-custody"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/family"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: civil-procedure","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"respondent"}]}
