He argued the underlying support judgments from 2008 and 2014 were unenforceable due to vague, open-ended terms and that the college expense award was against the weight of the evidence. The appellate court affirmed, holding that Father waived his arguments by failing to appeal the original judgments or file motions to amend, and that the prior judgments were erroneous, not void, thus precluding collateral attack. The court also found Father failed to meet the burden for an against-the-weight-of-the-evidence challenge.","primaryTopic":"family-law","topicSlugs":["family-law","appellate-procedure","civil-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=206513","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/deanna-haley-brown-petitioner-respondent-v-john-patrick-haley-respondent-d37223","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"family","label":"Family Law","href":"/practice-areas/family","score":32,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: family-law","topic: family-law"],"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"}]}
