Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Jul 20, 2021
James W. Shanks, Jr., Appellant, vs. Meagehn M. Shanks, Respondent.
James W. Shanks, Jr. appealed the circuit court's order setting aside its prior judgments concerning a motion to modify child support and a motion for contempt against Meagehn M. Shanks. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's decision to set aside the child support modification judgment, finding no abuse of discretion given the general remand and incorrect factual findings. However, the court reversed the trial court's decision to set aside the contempt judgment, concluding that the grounds for contempt were not dependent on the updated financial information.
