The appellate court reversed the child support modification, finding the trial court failed to make a statutorily required finding that the presumed child support amount was unjust or inappropriate. It also reversed the calculation of education costs, holding the trial court misapplied the law by using the incorrect income year for division. The judgment was affirmed in all other respects, and the case was remanded with directions for further proceedings.","primaryTopic":"divorce","topicSlugs":["divorce","family-law","appellate-procedure","civil-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=185780","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/mark-alan-clippard-respondent-v-catherine-sue-clippard-appellant-d37050","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"family","label":"Family Law","href":"/practice-areas/family","score":38,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: family-law","topic: family-law","topic: divorce","text: child support","text: divorce"],"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"}]}
