The appellate court affirmed the trial court's denial of attorney's fees and its decision regarding Husband's mortgage liability on the marital home. However, the court reversed and remanded the maintenance award, holding that the trial court abused its discretion by imposing a limited duration and non-modifiable nature without sufficient evidence of an impending change in Wife's financial circumstances.","primaryTopic":"divorce","topicSlugs":["divorce","family-law","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review","civil-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=129493","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/matthew-parciak-respondent-v-blanca-parciak-appellant-105648","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"family","label":"Family Law","href":"/practice-areas/family","score":38,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: family-law","topic: family-law","topic: divorce","text: dissolution","text: maintenance"],"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":"appellant"}]}
