Sturma v. Sturma

Missouri Court of Appeals

1Opinion of the Court

KAROHL, Presiding Judge.

Appellant-husband appeals a dissolution decree ending a four year marriage. The parties had one child, Joshua, who will be five years old July, 1984. The custody of Joshua was the central disputed issue in the dissolution proceedings.

Husband contends on appeal that the trial court erred in: (1) sustaining a hearsay objection and refusing to allow into evidence a report by a Deputy Juvenile Officer (DJO) because portions of the report were hearsay; and, (2) awarding custody of Joshua to the wife which, on the evidence, was not in the best interest of the child.

We affirm.
