The trial court granted the adoptive parents' motion to strike D.R.'s motion, finding it lacked authority to grant relief because D.R. was not a party to the adoption action. The appellate court dismissed the appeal for lack of appellate jurisdiction, concluding that because the trial court lacked authority to grant relief to a non-party, the appellate court similarly lacked jurisdiction to review the appeal on the merits.","primaryTopic":"family-law","topicSlugs":["family-law","appellate-procedure","civil-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=143961","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/in-the-interest-of-ers-a-child-under-seventeen-years-of-age-dr-movant-app-d35984","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":"respondent"}]}
