Michael James Hyde Missouri Cases

Holly Hyde appealed the trial court's dismissal of her motion for a nunc pro tunc order, which sought to correct language in her dissolution of marriage judgment regarding the termination of maintenance. She argued the judgment contained a clerical mistake because it stated maintenance would terminate upon the remarriage of "either party," which she claimed was not agreed upon. The appellate court affirmed the dismissal, holding that the alleged error was not a clerical mistake under Rule 74.06(a) because the judgment accurately reflected the parties' signed agreement, and an error in the agreement itself does not qualify for nunc pro tunc relief.
