Father argued that the trial court abused its discretion by finding Mother was more likely to allow frequent contact with the other parent, contending this finding was against the weight of the evidence. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's judgment, holding that the finding was not against the weight of the evidence and that no single statutory factor is determinative in custody decisions.","primaryTopic":"child-custody","topicSlugs":["child-custody","family-law","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=141413","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/tary-meseberg-nka-vanderpool-v-steven-lee-meseberg-d82009","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: 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"}]}
