Mother argued the trial court erred by entering the judgment without providing her notice of the trial or an opportunity to respond to Father's petition, and because no next friend had been appointed to represent the child. The appellate court vacated the trial court's judgment and remanded the case for further proceedings, agreeing with Mother on both points.","primaryTopic":"child-custody","topicSlugs":["child-custody","family-law","civil-procedure","appellate-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=209033","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/cdg-a-minor-child-by-and-through-next-friend-casey-green-and-casey-green-d38005","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","text: child support"],"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"}]}
