M.J.S. Missouri Cases

Father appealed the trial court's judgment establishing paternity, child custody, and child support, specifically challenging the adoption of a parenting plan that provided for alternating weekly parenting time. Father contended that the trial court's finding that this schedule was in the child's best interests was not supported by substantial evidence and was against the weight of the evidence. The appellate court affirmed the judgment, finding that the trial court's parenting plan was supported by substantial evidence and was not against the weight of the evidence, distinguishing a prior case where an unusual annual rotation plan lacked evidentiary support.
