Mother argued the trial court's analysis of statutory factors under §452.375.2 was flawed because it considered \"touching incidents\" at the child's school outside of the enumerated factors. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's judgment, holding that the trial court properly considered all relevant factors, and there is no prescribed format for how those factors must be presented in the judgment.","primaryTopic":"child-custody","topicSlugs":["child-custody","family-law","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=218933","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/in-re-the-marriage-of-jj-petitioner-appellant-v-dj-respondent-respondent-d38576","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"family","label":"Family Law","href":"/practice-areas/family","score":36,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: family-law","topic: family-law","topic: child-custody","text: dissolution","text: custody"],"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":"respondent"}]}
