McKinney v. Smith
Missouri Court of Appeals

1Opinion of the CourtJeffrey W. Bates, P.J.
Todd McKinney (Father) appeals from the trial court’s judgment, which: (1) declared him the biological father of A.G.M. (Child); (2) granted Father joint legal and joint physical custody of Child with Lacón Smith (Mother); and (3) ordered Father to pay $1,500 in partial attorney fees and costs to Mother. Father presents three points on appeal, which contend the awards of “primary residential custody” and partial attorney fees are against the weight of the evidence. Because this Court is not left with a firm belief that the judgment is wrong, we affirm.
