Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Jun 27, 2023
L.A.C., Respondent, vs. R.A.P., Appellant.
L.A.C. sought a full order of protection against R.A.P. under Missouri's Adult Abuse Act, alleging domestic violence and stalking. The circuit court granted the order, and R.A.P. appealed, contending the evidence was insufficient to establish the statutory requirements. The appellate court affirmed the judgment, concluding that substantial evidence supported the circuit court's findings that R.A.P.'s actions constituted domestic violence, specifically assault, and stalking.
