Wife argued the trial court erred because she established defenses and good cause under Supreme Court Rule 74.05, presuming the dissolution judgment was a default judgment. The appellate court affirmed, holding that the judgment was on the merits, not a default judgment, because Wife had filed an answer and otherwise defended against the petition, making Rule 74.05 inapplicable.","primaryTopic":"divorce","topicSlugs":["divorce","family-law","civil-procedure","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=151413","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/in-re-the-marriage-of-craig-anthony-belto-respondent-v-casie-denise-white-d36075","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":20,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/criminal-law"},{"slug":"family","label":"Family Law","href":"/practice-areas/family","score":16,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: family-law","topic: divorce","text: dissolution"],"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"}]}
