Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Apr 4, 2023
Mikala E. Harris, Respondent, vs. David W. Harris, Jr., Appellant.
David W. Harris, Jr. (Father) appealed the circuit court's judgment dissolving his marriage to Mikala E. Harris (Mother) and awarding custody of their two minor children. The appellate court affirmed the judgment in part but reversed the custody determination. The reversal was based on the circuit court's failure to include all statutorily required findings regarding the rejection of Father's proposed custodial arrangement and its omission of necessary components in the parenting plan, remanding the case for further proceedings consistent with the opinion.
