Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / May 20, 2025
Thomas G. Blaylock, et al. vs. Steven R. Blaylock, et al.
Thomas and Martha Blaylock appealed the circuit court's judgment partitioning inherited real property in kind, arguing it resulted in great prejudice. Defendants cross-appealed, challenging the award of attorney fees to Plaintiffs' counsel, the distribution of partnership crop revenue, and the finding that Thomas made no draws from the partnership account. The appellate court affirmed the circuit court's judgment on all points, finding no error in the partition in kind, no abuse of discretion in the attorney fee award, and no prejudicial error in the crop revenue distribution or the finding regarding Thomas's draws.
