Hightower v. Myers[1]

Opinion handed down March 9, 2010.
Link to Mo. Sup. Ct. Opinion

The Supreme Court of Missouri held that the jurisdictional guidelines in the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act (UCCJA) were statutory in nature, and, as such, an Appellant cannot raise the jurisdictional challenge on appeal if the alleged error was not preserved at trial. The court held further that the trial court’s finding that Missouri was the proper forum under the UCCJA to litigate custody of the child was supported by the evidence. Finally, the court held that the trial court’s additional finding that the modification of the custody decree was proper due to changed circumstances was supported by substantial evidence.
