Christopher Mandacina Missouri Cases

Amanda Pompey (Mother) appealed the circuit court's judgment awarding sole custody of her minor son, S.M., to Linda Mandacina (Paternal Grandmother). Mother challenged the validity of the original dissolution judgment regarding custody, the adequacy of the trial transcript, the Paternal Grandmother's intervention, and the temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction. The appellate court affirmed the circuit court's judgment. It found the dissolution judgment was not void, the transcript was sufficient for review, Mother waived her due process claims regarding intervention, Paternal Grandmother had a right to intervene, and the injunction claims were moot.
