Robertson v. Robertson

Missouri Court of Appeals

Decided March 2, 1982No. WD 32667PublishedCited by 2 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

DIXON, Judge.

The wife appeals from a decree of dissolution challenging only the award of custody to the father of the 2 year old male child of the parties.

The wife asserts that the trial court erred in finding that the wife’s involvement with another man interfered with her ability to care for the child. The wife also claims that the trial court erred in finding that the best interests of the child would be served by placing the child with the father because the evidence does not overcome the “presumption” that the mother is the preferred custodian of a child of tender years.
