Description
This proceeding was instituted in this court on September 4, 1975, by the filing of a petition for by the natural mother of W K M , a male, then twelve (12) years of age, who she alleged was presently in the physical custody of his natural father and who was being illegally restrained from returning to the mother under the terms of certain contractual obligations between the mother and father; that the father and mother were not (and had never been) married to each other; and, that the father for numerous stated reasons was unfit to have custody of the child. The parents and the child all are residents of Clay County, Missouri. On September 5, 1975, this court, deeming the allegations of the mother's petition sufficient for further inquiry, issued its writ and ordered the father to produce the body of the child before this court on September 8, 1975. On that day, the father did appear, produced the child, and filed his Return to the Writ of and his Motion to Dismiss, in which he admitted that the child was in his physical custody; asserted that the right of custody of the child had never been the subject of any decree or order of any other court; that the contract, with the mother, placing the custody in her, was illegal, void and unenforceable; that he was a fit and proper person to have permanent custody of the child and was its natural father and thus had legal rights to custody equal to its natural mother; that the child wished to remain in the father's custody; that the child's interests and welfare were best served by an award of permanent custody to the father; that the mother, for numerous factual reasons alleged, was unfit to have custody of the child; and, prayed this court to award him custody of his son.
