Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Oct 29, 2024
K.E.S., Respondent, vs. S.R.S., Appellant.
Appellant S.R.S. appealed the circuit court's judgment entering a ten-year full order of protection for K.E.S., arguing insufficient evidence to extend the term under § 455.040.1(4). The circuit court found Appellant posed a serious danger to K.E.S.'s physical or mental health. The appellate court affirmed, holding that there was sufficient evidence to support the circuit court's finding, and clarified the interpretation of the statutory factors for extending protective orders.
