The appellate court affirmed the joint legal custody award, finding it supported by substantial evidence. It modified the \"primary\" physical custody designation to \"sole\" physical custody, as \"primary\" is not statutorily recognized. The court reversed and remanded the visitation schedule for S.W., holding that the trial court improperly delegated its authority to a counselor and failed to specifically detail visitation rights as required by statute.","primaryTopic":"child-custody","topicSlugs":["child-custody","divorce","family-law","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=169034","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/sally-a-white-respondent-v-clayton-h-white-appellant-108036","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"family","label":"Family Law","href":"/practice-areas/family","score":38,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: family-law","topic: family-law","topic: divorce","topic: child-custody","text: custody","text: visitation"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/family"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
