Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Feb 18, 2025
John R. Mennerich, Respondent, vs. Patricia S. Mennerich, Appellant.
Roberta Peasel, as guardian for Patricia S. Mennerich (Wife), appealed the circuit court's judgment dissolving Wife's marriage to John R. Mennerich (Husband). Wife challenged the settlement agreement, the appointment of a guardian ad litem (GAL), and the GAL's performance. The appellate court affirmed the judgment, holding that Wife failed to preserve her claims for appeal because she did not object at trial or file a Rule 78.07 after-trial motion, and the issues were not previously presented to the circuit court.
