KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A legal document filed in Texas this week offers new details as to why a Boone County judge sealed her ruling in the custody dispute between former Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens and his ex-wife Sheena Greitens.
The court filing, filed in Travis County, Texas, on Monday, said Boone County Associate Circuit Judge Leslie Schneider sealed her decision on whether to move the former Missouri first couple’s case to Texas in order to protect their young children.
“It is in the best interests of the minor children that access to sensitive matters related to the children be restricted from further disclosure, due to the notoriety of the parties and the likelihood that members of the public will continue to use information related to the children in appropriate ways,” Schneider’s judgment said, according to a quotation of her judgment in Texas court filing.
