In Interest of C.R

5 Citing cases

  1. In re S.L.J

    3 S.W.3d 902 (Mo. Ct. App. 1999)   Cited 19 times
    In S.L.J., the court determined that a 1998 amendment, which provided new grounds for terminating parental rights, did affect substantive rights and could not be applied retroactively.

    The Baby Girl W. case turned on the mother's concealment of the child's birth, which left the father without the means to discover the child's existence."In re Interest of C.R., 758 S.W.2d 511, 513 (Mo.App. 1988) (citations omitted). While the facts of the case at bar bear some resemblance to those of Baby Girl W., the two cases can be distinguished in two important respects.

  2. In Interest of H.M

    770 S.W.2d 442 (Mo. Ct. App. 1989)   Cited 6 times

    Later, the same court cautioned that "[t]he import of Baby Girl W. should not be extended beyond its unusual circumstances." In Interest of C.R., 758 S.W.2d 511, 513 (Mo.App. 1988). In this case, uncontroverted evidence established mother's continuous absence from H.M.'s life. Mother contends her imprisonment precluded her from contributing to his support, but even when out of prison mother made no effort to support her son.

  3. In Interest of M.H

    828 S.W.2d 951 (Mo. Ct. App. 1992)   Cited 6 times

    It is unnecessary that the period relied upon in order to show abandonment be limited to six months. See In Interest of C.R., 758 S.W.2d 511, 513 (Mo.App. 1988), in which the abandonment for purposes of terminating parental rights occurred over a three-year period. Appellant's second point is denied.

  4. In Interest of M.L.K

    804 S.W.2d 398 (Mo. Ct. App. 1991)   Cited 44 times

    The holding in Baby Girl W. has previously been limited to those facts and does not lend support to appellant's contentions. See In Interest of H.M., 770 S.W.2d 442, 444 (Mo.App. 1989); In Interest of C.R., 758 S.W.2d 511, 513 (Mo.App. 1988). C.B. contends that while incarcerated she earned only thirty-three cents per day which made her incapable of providing for M.L.K. This court has recognized on previous occasions that incarcerated parents receive only minimal wages.

  5. In Interest of J.L.C

    771 S.W.2d 947 (Mo. Ct. App. 1989)

    The evidence further shows that from August, 1987, to April, 1988, DFS had no idea where the mother was, and despite repeated efforts, was unable to contact her. The precise argument made by the mother is answered by the case of In the Interest of C.R., 758 S.W.2d 511, 514 [4, 5] (Mo.App. 1988), when this court stated: To construe section 211.447.2(1)(b), as requiring the juvenile officer to prove a totally absent parent's ability to provide support is illogical when the parent's whereabouts remain unknown well beyond the statutory period.
