Ruemker v. Ruemker

The Court did not have jurisdiction over appellants' appeals, because the orders appellants appealed were interlocutory rulings and not directly appealable, as they did not include any decision as to child custody and did not hold or decline to hold any party in contempt of a child custody or any other order.

Krystal D. Ruemker a/k/a Krystal D. Stanley mother and Raymond Ruemker father, the biological parents of Leah Ruemker ward, an incapacitated adult, are seeking appointment as her guardian and conservator.1 On December 21, 2015, the trial court entered an order requiring the mother and her husband, Gregory Stanley stepfather, to appear in court the following morning and produce the ward for travel as directed by the emergency guardian appointed for the pendency of the case. The mother and stepfather failed to appear for the hearing, and on December 22, 2015, the trial court entered an order requiring their immediate incarceration. In Case No. A16A1200, the mother appeals the superior court’s December 21, 2015 order; in Case No. A16A1201, the mother appeals the court’s December 22, 2015 order; in Case No. A16A1202, the stepfather appeals the court’s December 21, 2015 order; and in Case No. A16A1203, the stepfather appeals the court’s December 22, 2015 order. We have consolidated these cases on appeal, and for the reasons that follow, we dismiss all four appeals.

Pursuant to a May 2010 Missouri family court order, the parents had joint physical and legal custody of the ward.2 On February 22, 2012, shortly before the ward’s eighteenth birthday, the mother filed a guardianship petition in the Houston County Probate court, and the father objected. The probate court appointed the parents as co-guardians and established a visitation schedule; the mother appealed that order to the Superior Court of Houston County.
