The Missouri Supreme Court reversed the circuit court's judgment, holding that the dismissal without prejudice was a final appealable judgment because Jenette could not refile her claims without changing her allegations. The Court further held that Jenette adequately pleaded claims under the Uniform Fraudulent Transfers Act, clarifying that depositing funds into a tenancy-by-the-entirety account constitutes a \"transfer\" and that a plaintiff need not plead several \"badges of fraud\" to allege actual intent. The case was remanded for further proceedings.","primaryTopic":"other","topicSlugs":["other","civil-procedure","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=196975","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/jenette-konopasek-appellant-v-douglas-and-laura-konopasek-respondents-c99816","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"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":"respondent"}]}
