Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / May 26, 2020
James K. Davis, Appellant, vs. Joan C. Davis, Respondent.
James K. Davis appealed the circuit court's denial of his motion to modify maintenance payments to his ex-wife, Joan C. Davis, and an order for him to pay her attorney's fees. The appellate court reversed and remanded the case. It found the trial court erred by basing its maintenance decision on inflated expenses, failing to consider the impact of cohabitation on Respondent's reasonable expenses, and abusing its discretion in awarding attorney's fees without considering all relevant factors.
