Domestic Relations: Divorce-Motion to Dismiss Appeal

Husband appealed from the trial court’s judgment of dissolution of marriage. Wife moved to dismiss husband’s appeal due to Rule 84.04 violations and other briefing deficiencies.

Where husband failed to include concise statements describing where the errors complained of on appeal were preserved for appellate review, the court dismissed husband’s appeal on motion for lack of substantial compliance with court rules.

Appeal is dismissed.
