Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Date unavailable
In Re the Matter of: L.K.B., a Minor, By Next Friend Matthew Timothy Bethel and Matthew Timothy Bethel vs. Kelsey Nicole Salmon
Matthew Timothy Bethel (Husband) appealed a judgment modifying custody for L.K.B., arguing the trial court erred by ordering him to reimburse Kelsey Nicole Salmon (Wife) for medical and counseling treatments. Husband claimed the order was void for lack of subject matter jurisdiction or violated his due process rights because the reimbursement issue was not raised in Wife's motion to modify. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's judgment, finding the trial court had subject matter jurisdiction over the civil action and that Husband's due process argument was not preserved for appellate review.
