BOWERS v. SIPPIO (2021)

Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District.

Sabrina BOWERS, Appellant, v. Robert L. SIPPIO, Jr., Respondent.

WD 83699

Decided: June 29, 2021

Before Division Two: Mark D. Pfeiffer, Presiding Judge, and Alok Ahuja and Karen King Mitchell, Judges

Carl W. Bussey, Kansas City, MO, Attorney for Appellant. Stacy Shaw, Kansas City, MO, Attorney for Respondent.

Order

Sabrina Bowers (Mother) appeals the dismissal, based on lack of jurisdiction, of her child custody petition against Robert Sippio, Jr. (Father). Mother raises one point on appeal. She argues that the court erred in dismissing her petition because the court had jurisdiction to determine custody under the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA), where the evidence showed that the minor children resided with Mother in Missouri for six months immediately preceding the filing of her petition. Finding no error, we affirm. Rule 84.16(b).
