Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District.

Melanie GARRETT, Respondent, v. James GARRETT, Appellant.

WD 85229

Decided: October 31, 2023

Division Two: W. Douglas Thomson, Presiding Judge, Cynthia L. Martin, Judge and Thomas N. Chapman, Judge

Jeanne M. Foster, Independence, MO, for Respondent. Erin L. Mayfield, Blue Springs, MO, Co-Counsel for Respondent. Roderick E. Smith, Kansas City, MO, for Appellant.

ORDER

James Garrett (“Father”) appeals from the Judgment of Modification entered by the Circuit Court of Clay County (“trial court”) terminating his child support obligations as a result of the emancipation of two of his children. Father raises one point on appeal, claiming error with the trial court's failure to both award him a credit for his overpayment of child support, and to direct Melanie Garrett (“Mother”) to repay him for amounts improperly received. We affirm. Because a published opinion would have no precedential value, we have provided an unpublished memorandum to the parties which sets forth the reasons for this order. Rule 84.16(b).¹
