Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / May 16, 2023
S.C.J.M., and B.J.J.M., By Their Next Friend, S.D.M., and S.D.M., Individually, Appellants, vs. B.J.N.S., Respondent.
Father appealed the trial court's judgment awarding Mother sole physical and legal custody of their two minor children and denying him visitation. Father argued the trial court misapplied the law by failing to include specific arrangements in the parenting plan and by not making sufficient findings as required by statute. The appellate court affirmed, holding that the trial court's detailed findings regarding custody and visitation, including findings of domestic violence and negative impact on the children, were sufficient and rendered further specific parenting plan provisions superfluous.
