Legal Question in Family Law in Missouri

Final Judgement papers

If the respondant's attorney was ordered to prepare the final judgement papers, but I have never received them and neither has the court, do I have any recourse? My ex-husband has filed a motion to modify custody for the 4th time in 3 years because I moved without giving him 60 day notice. Do I have any recourse against him for continuing to drag me to court and spending extreme amounts of money in attorney fees when the money could be spent on the children. I would appreciate any help I could get to my questions.

Thanks,

Re: Final Judgement papers

I'm not certain what you mean by "final judgment" in the first part of your question. If Resondent's attorney hasn't prepared the judgment, your attorney should do so. As for the second part of your question, if you relocated without giving notice to your ex-husband, this can be grounds for his requesting modification of the dissolution decree. The court won't sanction your ex- for filing a motion to modify if he has legal grounds for doing so.
