Your case is unique, but you are not alone.

About 41,000 new cases are filed in U.S. courts every weekday. Behind each one is a person trying to understand what happens next. Here’s what the public record can tell you about this matter — and about the people deciding it.

  • Know your judge

    Every judge has a pattern — what they grant, what they deny, how they handle the kinds of motions your case will see.

  • Know your attorney

    See an attorney’s actual track record — case types, courts, and how they’ve performed in front of this judge before.

  • Know your court

    Every courthouse has its own rhythm — filing-to-resolution times, common dispositions, how often cases like yours settle.

Is this judge more likely to rule for the plaintiff or the defendant in cases of this type?

How has your attorney actually performed in front of this judge?

AICasePredict surfaces patterns from public court records. We don’t predict outcomes and we don’t recommend changing your attorney — that’s a conversation for you and them. We just show you what the record already says.

Spanbauer was declared the biological father of the minor child by Judgment and Decree of Paternity, Child Custody and Support in case number 22CT-DR00053. The Court deems this Petition to be a Motion for Modification of the Judgment and Decree of Paternity, Child Custody and Support in case number 22CT-DR00053, and, by agreement of the parties, consolidates this case with 22CT-DR00053. By agreement, Petitioner is granted leave to file an Amended Motion to Modify in case number 22CT-DR00053 under case number 22CT-DR00053-01, with no additional filing fee. Spanbauer will be joined as a Respondent in case number 22CT-DR00053-01.

Caitlyn Biggs is further prohibited from traveling outside the State of Missouri with the minor child. Violation of this Order will result in Caitlyn Biggs being held in contempt of Court.

For all non-evidentiary hearings in Dissolution, Paternity, and Modification cases pending in Division 3, parties and counsel may appear remotely using the Virtual Hearing Link. It is not necessary to provide prior notice to the Court of remote appearance.

In all other cases pending in Division 3 (and for all evidentiary hearings in Dissolution, Paternity, and Modification cases), parties and counsel must personally appear, unless the Court previously has granted permission for the party or counsel to appear remotely. The Court, however, retains discretion to require all counsel and parties to appear either in person or remotely in any case. ACCESSING THE VIRTUAL HEARING ROOM 1. Go to courts.mo.gov 2.
