Missouri Court of Appeals

1Opinion of the CourtAngela T. Quigless, C.J.

I.INTRODUCTION.

Nicholas Malawey (father) appeals the judgment of the Circuit Court of St. Charles County granting mother Margaret Kosowski’s petition for appointment of guardianship of their son, S.M. In his sole point on appeal, father contends the probate court erred in entering the guardianship order when another circuit court had already exercised its authority to enter a judgment regarding the same issues and parties in a divorce proceeding. Father argues the guardianship order resulted in wasteful or inconsistent judgments. We reverse and remand for further proceedings.
