RSMo. §452.375.1(2).

“Sole legal custody” means that only one parent has One Hundred Percent (100%) of the decision-making rights, responsibilities, and authority relating to the health, education and welfare of the child, and, unless allocated, apportioned, or decreed, the parents shall confer with one another in the exercise of decision-making rights, responsibilities, and authority.

Types of Decisions

The three types of decisions that parents must make concerning their children are major decisions, daily or everyday decisions, and emergency decisions.

Major decisions are the significant decisions about the children. Major decisions are made by the parent or parents with legal custody. The following are examples of major decisions:

• The choice or change of schools, including college or special tutoring,

• The choice or change of physician, surgeon or dentist,

• Religious instruction, training or education,

• Selection of child care providers,

B. Daily or Everyday Decisions

Daily or everyday decisions are routine decisions like minor medical treatment, bedtimes, homework, chores, selection of clothing and normal daily activities.

Daily decisions shall be made by the parent having actual physical custody at the time of the decision. The parents shall cooperate in establishing mutually agreeable policies regarding such decisions in order that routine decisions remain as consistent as possible.

C. Emergency Decisions

Emergency decisions are decisions of an urgent nature. They affect the health and safety of the children and have to be made before it is possible to contact the other parent. The parent who is with the minor child requiring emergency care may make the emergency decision. The parent making the emergency decision shall advise the other parent of the nature and extent of the emergency as soon as possible.

4.1 General Principles

A. The parents, after giving due consideration to all relevant factors, believe that it is in the best interest of their unemancipated children that the parents have shared decision-making responsibility for major decisions that affect the children.

B. Each parent shall make decisions regarding the day-to-day care and control of the children while the children are with that parent. Either parent may make emergency decisions affecting the health or safety of the child who is currently with that parent.

C. The parents shall confer with each other and share decision-making authority with a view toward arriving at major decisions that promote the best interest of the children.

D. Neither parent shall unreasonably withhold consent in making such joint decisions nor shall either parent make a major change in the children's situation without agreement of the other parent.

E. The parents understand that a failure to agree requires mediation as per the Missouri statute.

F. Each parent shall have access to medical and school records pertaining to the children and be permitted to independently consult with any and all professionals involved with the children. The parents shall cooperate with each other in sharing information related to the health, education and welfare of the children and they shall sign any necessary documentation ensuring that both parents have access to said records.

G.   Emergency Contacts – For any school enrollment, sport enrollment, activity enrollment or any event, program or activity in which there is the need to list emergency contacts for a child the following parameters shall apply: (1) The Natural Mother and Natural Father shall be listed as the first two emergency contacts, and the home, work and cell phone number for each parent shall be provided to the organization seeking the information; (2) After the natural parents, a blood relative of the child(ren) may be listed as an emergency contact, and the home, work and cell phone number for each blood relative shall be provided to the organization seeking the information; (3) Under no circumstance shall a friend, paramour, girlfriend, boyfriend, fiancé or roommate be listed as an emergency contact for the child(ren).

H. Parents shall always let each other know their current addresses, home, work and emergency telephone numbers and shall notify each other in writing within 24 hours of any changes.

I. When a Major Decision is necessary, the parent initiating discussion regarding a Major Decision shall initiate the discussion through an electronic messaging system, for example, text message or email. The receiving parent shall have ninety-six (96) hours (four (4) calendar days) to respond and reply in some form of writing (again, a handwritten note, fax, email or text) with a concrete opinion/response to the query. In the event that receiving parent does not respond in writing within this timeframe, then the sending parent shall make the Major Decision and inform the receiving parent of the decision that was made and any and all related information. See also Section 4.4 (F).

4.2 Education. Mother’s address shall be the address for educational purposes so long as she continues to reside within the boundaries of the Park Hill School District. Should Mother move from this District, the parties shall agree upon where the children will attend school. Should dispute resolution be necessary, discussion regarding education shall be conducted through the mediation process. Cost of mediation shall be determined in the mediation process.

Any parent enrolling a child into the child’s school(s) shall provide a copy of all completed enrollment documentation to the non-enrolling parent as well as provide the non-enrolling parent with any links to any school website(s) that may provide information to the non-enrolling parent as to school calendars or activities.

Once the enrolling parent has provided this access information, the enrolling parent will have completed his or her responsibility for informing the non-enrolling parent apprised of school status and enrolling parent then shall have no other further duty to communicate information related to the child’s status during the academic year in question.

If a child’s academic information as described above is not available in electronic or internet-based format, then the enrolling parent shall insure that the non-enrolling parent is identified to any school in which the child is enrolled as a parent with joint legal and joint physical custody and provide that information to the parent no later than September 1 of each academic year. This information shall also include the name of any classroom teacher for any child enrolled in grades 5 and under. After the delivery of this information it shall then be the non-enrolling parent’s sole responsibility to contact his or her child’s school and make whatever arrangements that parent desires to directly acquire copies of a child’s grade card, report card, class schedule, teacher contact information or any other information to which that non-enrolling parent would be legally entitled as a result of his joint legal status. In no event shall the enrolling parent be responsible for photocopies or obtaining duplicate paper notices from any teacher in providing these paper documents to the non-enrolling parent nor should the enrolling parent be responsible for forwarding all electronic communications to the non-enrolling parent.

If there is an agreement in writing between the enrolling parent and the non-enrolling parent regarding an activity that will occur on the non-enrolling parent’s time, the imposition of that activity on the non-enrolling parent’s time shall not entitle the non-enrolling parent to any additional parenting time or what is commonly referred to as “make-up” time.

Such sheriff or law enforcement officer shall not remove a child from a person who has actual physical custody of the child unless such sheriff or officer is shown a court order or judgment which clearly and convincingly verifies that such person is not entitled to the actual physical custody of the child, and there are not other exigent circumstances that would give the sheriff or officer reasonable suspicion to believe that the child would be harmed or that the court order presented to the sheriff or office may not be valid.”

X.

The Court finds that the parties should follow all the terms of the Parenting Plan as set out in Paragraph IX above.

XI.

The Court has examined the parties’ economic and financial conditions and circumstances, and upon having further taken into consideration Missouri Supreme Court Rule 88.01 and Form 14, makes the following findings:

a. After examination of all relevant factors, the Court rejects both parties’ Form 14 calculations and prepares its own Form 14 and finds that the Petitioner’s income is $3,415 per month and Respondent’s income is $7,160 per month. In calculating the Respondent’s monthly income, the Court considered the Income and Expense Statements filed by both parties. Further, there was evidence the Respondent gave his wife $800 per month in cash. He also paid all utility bills for the marital home in the form of money orders. Monthly car payments were typically paid by Respondent from a bank account in the name of Aviation Global, Inc. in which Respondent was the sole director and officer of the corporation. He had unrestricted access to said funds in the corporate account which in January of 2017 had as much as $211,179.50. In 2016, the Aviation global account had a balance over $200,000 and Respondent made auto loan payments as well as transfers to the joint bank account of the Petitioner and Respondent. Respondent also was the vice president of an entity named Simco International, Inc. and he had ready access to the corporate funds in an account at Wells Fargo bank. He transferred $77,010 from the Simco bank account to an entity named Simple Kindness on the day the parties separated. Testimony from Respondent and his brother was presented that Simple Kindness was a not for profit entity owned by Respondent’s brother. The Court thus considered the marital expenses as well as the amounts paid from accounts, cash and money order payments as well as Respondent’s claimed income in making a determination as to his average monthly income. The Court recognizes that the respondent’s average income could have been determined to be higher in light of the apparent success of Aviation Global.

b. With that adjustment the Court finds that the correct presumed child support amount to be paid by the Petitioner to the Respondent for the minor child, Hassan Mubashar Agha, is $135 per month, and the presumed child support amount to be paid by the Respondent to the Petitioner for the minor children, Talha Mubashar Agha, Aamna Agha, and Omer Mubashar Agha, is $1,323 per month pursuant to the Court’s Form 14’s on file.

c. Therefore, Respondent should pay his child support obligation to Petitioner the difference of the sum of $1,323 per month and $135 per month in the amount of $1,188 per month, payable as follows:

d. Commencing on the 1st day of October, 2019, and on 1st day of each succeeding month thereafter, Respondent should pay child support in the amount of $1,188 to Petitioner until said children are emancipated or the same is otherwise modified by the Circuit Court of Platte County, Missouri;

e. Said child support payments should be paid to the Family Support Payment Center, P.O. Box 109002, Jefferson City, Missouri, 65110-9002, as Trustee, for remittance to the Petitioner; and

f. The Respondent has paid adequate support pendent lite that no retroactive support is necessary or appropriate.

XII.

In making determinations in this case, the Court made judgments regarding the credibility of each witness. The Court accepted some testimony as credible and rejected some as not credible. The findings and conclusions made by the Court are consistent with the Court’s determination of the appropriate weight of the evidence presented and the credibility of each witness.

Aviation Global: The Court finds that the Respondent was the sole officer and director listed on the Secretary of State registration (Petitioner’s Exhibit 6) for Aviation Global, Inc., which held a bank account with the Bank of America (Petitioner’s Exhibit 10) valued at $211,179.50, as of January 1, 2017. The Court further finds that prior to the filing of this action and during the pendency of this action Respondent withdrew all funds from that account. Therefore, the Court finds that Respondent shall be awarded all right, title and interest in Aviation Global, Inc.

Simco International: The Court finds that the Respondent held an account with Wells Fargo under the business name of Simco International, Inc., (Petitioner’s Exhibit 15) valued at $79,535, as of December 28, 2017. The court further finds that on December 29, 2017, the day Petitioner filed her Petition of Dissolution of Marriage in this matter, the Respondent made an in bank withdrawal from this account in the amount of $77,010 (Petitioner’s Exhibit 17). Testimony and evidence (Petitioner’s Exhibit 18) presented at trial determined that Respondent was issued a cashier’s check made payable to “Simple Kindness” which was purported to be owned by Respondent’s brother. Therefore, the Court finds that Respondent shall be awarded all right, title, and interest in Simco International, Inc.

Australian Property: The Petitioner and Respondent both gave testimony about property in Australia. After reviewing the evidence and weighing the testimony of both parties the Court finds that the property in question should be considered non-marital and is not subject to division by this Court.

Gold Bars: Both parties gave testimony regarding gold bars. The Court finds that there was insufficient evidence on the existence, value or location of said gold bars and therefore it is determined that they are not subject to division by this Court at this time.

XIII.

The Petitioner and Respondent are presently owners as husband and wife of the following described lots, tracts or parcels of land lying, being situate in the County of Platte, with a physical address of 8522 N. Beaman, Kansas City, Missouri 64154, and legally described as follows, to-wit:

Petitioner shall be awarded all right, title and interest in said property, and said real estate described above shall be the sole and exclusive property of Petitioner, free and clear of all right, title, and interest of Respondent and this Judgment shall operate as a conveyance of title.

Petitioner should pay any and all unpaid costs or assessments related to said residence and real property. Respondent should immediately execute and deliver to Petitioner a quitclaim deed quitclaiming all of his interest in the above-described real property to Petitioner. The Petitioner will hold the Respondent harmless in connection with said indebtedness owed on said real estate and residence, and shall indemnify Respondent from any loss resulting from Petitioner’s failure to pay said indebtedness as required.
