Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Oct 18, 2022
Violet Kay Wilson, Respondent, v. Frederick Robin Schmelzer, Appellant.
Frederick Robin Schmelzer (Husband) appealed the trial court's judgment dissolving his marriage with Violet Kay Wilson (Wife), which included the division of marital property. The appellate court dismissed the appeal due to Husband's failure to comply with the mandatory briefing requirements of Rule 84.04 of the Missouri Rules of Civil Procedure. The court found that Husband's Point Relied On and Argument portions of his brief were deficient, preventing a meaningful review and substantially wasting judicial resources.
