Husband argued the payment improperly divided his non-marital teacher retirement account. The appellate court, however, dismissed the appeal for lack of a final judgment, finding that the trial court's written judgment failed to distribute all marital property and debt identified in the evidence, thus depriving the appellate court of jurisdiction. The case was remanded for the trial court to enter a final judgment addressing all property and debt.","primaryTopic":"appellate-procedure","topicSlugs":["appellate-procedure","civil-procedure","divorce","family-law"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=141733","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/paul-fregeau-v-carol-fregeau-d81731","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"family","label":"Family Law","href":"/practice-areas/family","score":32,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: family-law","topic: family-law","topic: divorce"],"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"}]}
