Administrative Law: Child Abuse Registry-Removal Of Name-Attorneys’ Fees
Staff Report//January 8, 2019
here the state challenged the removal of a mother’s name from the Child Abuse and Neglect Registry, arguing that she failed to provide proper support for her daughter after the daughter’s sexual abuse by her ex-husband, the judgment is affirmed because the state did not prove neglect by a preponderance of the evidence, and the trial court did not err in awarding attorneys’ fees to the mother because unusual circumstances supported the award.
Judgment is affirmed.
Barr v. Department of Social Services (MLW No. 72446/Case No. WD81340 – 14 pages) (Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District, Gabbert, J.) Appealed from circuit court, Cole County, Green, J. (Ann Barr, pro se) (Hardin Thomas Haynes, Jefferson City, for appellants).
