Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District / Apr 16, 2020
MAXWELL BIGGS, By His Next Friend DERRICK BIGGS, and DERRICK BIGGS, Individually, Respondent vs. ANGELIA BRINNEMAN, Appellant
Angelia Brinneman appealed from a trial court's judgment regarding paternity, custody, and support of a minor child, which awarded joint legal and physical custody and designated the father's residence for educational purposes. The appellate court dismissed Brinneman's appeal, finding that her brief materially failed to comply with Rule 84.04 of the Missouri Court Rules. Specifically, the brief's statement of facts was not fair or concise, and its point relied on failed to meet the mandatory 'erred in/because/in that' formula, preserving nothing for appeal.
