Family Law: Child Custody-Modification-Sufficiency Of Evidence
Staff Report//April 22, 2019//
Listen to this article
Where a mother challenged a trial court’s modification of child custody and child support, the judgment is reversed because no evidence was presented at the hearing on the father’s motion regarding custody to show a change in the circumstances of the mother or child, and the order modifying child support was intertwined with the change in custody and parenting time and must also be reversed.
Judgment is reversed.
Johnson v. Riley (MLW No. 73094/Case No. WD81730 – 7 pages) (Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District, Chapman, J.) Appealed from circuit court, Johnson County, Midkiff, J. (Wainsworth Anderson, Kansas City, Missouri, for appellant) (Henry Service, Kansas City, Missouri, for respondent).
