Dane v. Hagerty
Missouri Court of Appeals · Decided September 22, 1998 · Gaertner, Hoff, Russell
976 S.W.2d 633; 1998 Mo. App. LEXIS 1669; 1998 WL 643255 (South Western Reporter, Second Series)

Dane v. Hagerty

Opinion of the Court

ORDER

PER CURIAM.

Steven Lynn Dane (Father) appeals from the trial court’s judgment dismissing his Petition for Declaration of Non-Existence of Father-Child Relationship.

"The law is settled that father is collaterally estopped from denying his paternity of the child[] because the issue of paternity was established by the decree of dissolution which is now final.” Love v. Love, 809 S.W.2d 481, 481 (MoApp. E.D. 1991). We find Love dispositive of this appeal.

We have reviewed the briefs of the parties and the record on appeal. No error of law appears. An opinion would have no prece-dential value. We affirm pursuant to Rule 84.16(b).
