Description
This appeal is from a judgment of the juvenile division of St. Louis County circuit court modifying an award of custody entered by the domestic relations division thereof. The factual situation leading to such an incongruous result need be only briefly stated. A review of preliminary proceedings will be helpful to place in proper perspective the jurisdictional issue upon which we decide this case. The plaintiff in the instant case filed suit seeking a divorce from the defendant and custody of the four minor children born of their marriage. The defendant filed an answer and a cross-bill wherein she sought a divorce and custody of the children. Her petition also contained a second count sounding in equity whereby she prayed that in the event custody was denied either party in the divorce action, then the court should award her custody together with a reasonable allowance for their support and maintenance. The trial court acted in accordance with the second count of the defendant's cross-bill. Pending appeal to this court a controversy arose due to a post-trial order regarding custody. That matter was resolved by State ex rel. Stone v. Ferriss, Mo., 369 S.W.2d 244. In accordance with that opinion the trial court entered a new order granting plaintiff custody pending cross appeals to this court. By opinion of April 29, as modified May 22, 1964, this court affirmed the trial court's decree granting general custody to the defendant. See Stone v. Stone, Mo. App., 378 S.W.2d 824. Therein this court directed that the domestic relations division retain exclusive jurisdiction of these minors during their minority.
