The trial court had entered these orders after Father failed to appear at several hearings, leading him to claim improper default judgments and due process violations regarding notice. Father also challenged the sufficiency of the petitions, the timeliness of the hearings, and custody determinations within the orders. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's judgments, holding that the orders were judgments on the merits, not default judgments, and that Father's other points were either procedurally deficient or lacked merit.","primaryTopic":"family-law","topicSlugs":["family-law","civil-procedure","appellate-procedure","child-custody"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=221674","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/mrr-v-kwc-d87076","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"family","label":"Family Law","href":"/practice-areas/family","score":32,"source":"tag","url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/family"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
