Chatman appealed the circuit court's judgment dissolving her marriage to Thomas Chatman, which incorporated a property settlement agreement the parties had consented to. Wife raised issues regarding the division of marital property, arguing the court erred in approving the judgment and not considering certain factors. The Eastern District dismissed the appeal, holding that a party lacks statutory authority to appeal a judgment entered by consent of the parties, as such a party is not \"aggrieved\" under Missouri law.","primaryTopic":"family-law","topicSlugs":["family-law","appellate-procedure","divorce","civil-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=198496","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/sophia-d-chatman-appellant-v-thomas-chatman-respondent-111310","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":"respondent"}]}
