Legal Question in Family Law in Missouri

Re: Courts Decision

How long ago was this divorce granted? If you are within the applicable time requirements, you might be able to have the Judgment that was entered set aside. If you are too late to do that, and if the facts you stated in your question are true, then you might be able to pursue a claim of professional negligence against the attorney. It is a little hard to believe that an attorney would just not show up for a hearing in which he was representing a party. Perhaps there is some other explanation. You should contact that attorney, or hire another attorney to do so for you, and take whatever action he or she can under the circumstances. In any event I do wish you the best of luck.
