Shelbie E. Campbell Missouri Cases

Brian Campbell (Father) appealed the amended dissolution judgment, which granted Shelbie Campbell (Mother) sole legal and physical custody of their two minor children. Father argued the trial court erred by misapplying section 452.375 to rebut the presumption of joint physical custody and by finding that extended contact with him was not in the children's best interests, claiming a lack of substantial evidence. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's judgment, finding that the evidence, including Father's emotional abuse of Mother, work schedule, and lack of financial support, sufficiently rebutted the presumption and supported the custody determination.
