Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Oct 15, 2024
Evita Tolu, Appellant, vs. Robert J. Stientjes, Respondent.
Evita Tolu (Mother) appealed the trial court's judgment modifying child support, raising thirteen points. The appellate court found the trial court erred in determining Mother waived her personal jurisdiction challenge, but affirmed that personal service was proper. The court also affirmed the trial court's discretion regarding child support abatement for college enrollment and its parental income calculations. The judgment was affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded for recalculation of retroactive child support to the date of personal service.
