Comment

Section 211.171.7, RSMo, provides: "The practice and procedure customary in proceedings in equity shall govern all proceedings in the juvenile court."

Section 487.160, RSMo, provides: "Any reference in the statutory laws of this state to the juvenile division of the circuit court shall be deemed to include the family court when involving matters previously within the exclusive original jurisdiction of the juvenile division if such inclusion is not in conflict with the provisions of section 487.010 to 487.190."
