What the Record Shows

Craig Miller Judicial Findings
The court record in this case begins with a 2016 Missouri Judgment that made specific, final judicial findings regarding the Respondent Father, Craig Miller. After a multi-day trial, the court found his testimony “lacking in credibility” and documented his “history of verbal and physical abuse”.

This timeline shows how those 2016 findings were allegedly ignored and circumvented in a 2024 Kansas court action. That 2024 action removed the children from their primary, protective parent—a removal that occurred after his oldest had independently reported him for abuse.

Based on Craig Miller judicial findings, this man is a danger to his children and Meghann.

The Financial Record: High Income vs. No Support

Craig Miller Judicial Findings
The 2016 judgment details a pattern of financial misconduct, contrasting Craig Miller’s high earnings with his refusal to provide for his family.

Finding 5: High Income. The court documented Craig Miller’s substantial earning capacity, noting his 2016 YTD income averaged $17,359 per month. The court ultimately imputed his income at $20,000.00 per month for support calculations.

Finding 6: Refusal to Pay Child Support. Despite this income, the court found that “Respondent earned significant income during this time period yet refused to pay regular child support to Petitioner” for 16 months.

Finding 7: Obstructing the Case. The court found that Petitioner “incurred attorney’s fees and costs unnecessarily as a direct result of Respondent’s refusal to disclose his bank accounts and provide his bank statements.”

The 2022 Child’s Disclosure: Corroboration of Abuse

On October 10, 2022, M.M. (Meghann’s daughter) initiated her own police interview. Gardner Police Report 2202766 (Exhibit FF) details the interview, which she attended with a friend’s parents, not Meghann.
According to the officer’s report, M.M. detailed a history of abuse by her father, Craig Miller
The report states M.M. “did not feel safe while staying at her father’s house.”

The 2024 “Reward”: Overturning the 2016 Judgment

On January 29, 2024, Craig Miller, in concert with the GAL and therapist, secured an emergency order to have all five children removed from Meghann’s care .

This removal was based on allegations against Meghann, detailed in a “secret report” she was not allowed to see.

However, DCF’s General Counsel later confirmed in writing (Exhibit E) that these allegations were investigated and found “unsubstantiated.”

This 2024 removal, based on false allegations, allowed Craig Miller to achieve what the 2016 Missouri court forbade. He, along with his partner Shelly Miller (who was judicially barred from caregiving), took possession of the children and began posting “family” photos (Exhibit 51) of their new life, including a “Summer vacation 2024- Mexico”

The 2016 Missouri Judgment: A Final Finding of Fact


After a 3.5-year divorce litigation, the Circuit Court of Cass County, Missouri (Case No. 13CA-CV02982) issued a 30-page judgment. The court made the following specific findings of fact regarding Craig Miller:

Lacking Credibility: The court found “the testimony of Respondent [Craig Miller] regarding his parenting of the children to be lacking in credibility.”

History of Abuse: The court found that “Respondent [Craig Miller] has history of being verbally and physically abusive to Petitioner [Meghann].”

Criminal Violation: The court documented that “Respondent violated the Ex Parte Order of Protection… by installing a device on Petitioner’s vehicle to track her whereabouts” and that he “faced criminal charges as a result of this violation.”

Witness Corroboration: The court noted that Craig Miller’s own witness, a marriage counselor, “testified that he was worried for Petitioner’s safety.”

Minimal Parental Involvement: The court found Craig “was minimally involved in caring for the children prior to the separation” and affirmed Meghann “was the primary caretaker for all five children.”

Shelly Miller Barred: Based on this pattern of conduct, the court barred Craig Miller’s partner, Shelly Blann (now Miller), from caregiving due to her “harassment and inappropriate involvement”.

The 2022 Child’s Disclosure: Corroboration of Abuse

On October 10, 2022, M.R.M. (Oldest daughter) initiated her own police interview. Gardner Police Report 2202766 (Exhibit FF) details the interview, which she attended with a friend’s parents, not Meghann.
According to the officer’s report, M.R.M. detailed a history of abuse by her father, Craig Miller.

The report states M.M. detailed physical abuse, sexual abuse, and being recorded by hidden cameras in her bedroom, concluding that she “did not feel safe while staying at her father’s house.”

The 2024 Emergency Removal: A “Continuing Violation”

After M.M.’s 2022 disclosure to police, the court’s focus was turned on Meghann. On January 29, 2024, Craig Miller, in concert with the GAL (Randy McCalla) and therapist (Julia Battle), secured an emergency ex parte order to have all five children removed from Meghann’s care .


This removal was based on allegations against Meghann.
However, DCF’s General Counsel later confirmed in writing (Exhibit E) that these allegations were investigated and found “unsubstantiated.”
The DCF letter (Exhibit E) confirms this “unsubstantiated” finding was communicated “to you [Meghann], the court, and the guardian ad litem at the time” (June 2024), but the children were not returned.

The 2024 “Reward”: Overturning the 2016 Judgment

The 2024 emergency removal, based on unsubstantiated claims, effectively nullified the 2016 Missouri Judgment. It replaced the fit, primary parent (Meghann) with the judicially-barred caregiver (Shelly Miller).
The record shows that Craig Miller and Shelly Miller immediately began posting “family” photos (Exhibit 51) of their new life, including:

A “16th Bday getaway for oldest daughter” (the same child who reported him).
A “Spring Break!” road trip .
A “Summer vacation 2024- Mexico” .
This demonstrates that the 2024 Kansas action allowed the Respondent Father to achieve what the 2016 Missouri court explicitly forbade: the installation of Shelly Miller as a caregiver for the children.

Conclusion: A Pattern of Judicially-Defined Misconduct

The record, when viewed in its entirety, is not a “he said/she said” dispute. It is a story of judicial findings being ignored and circumvented.
In 2016, a Missouri judge, after a multi-day trial, put a final, legal label on Craig Miller: a man who is “lacking in credibility”, has a “history of being verbally and physically abusive” , and had faced “criminal charges” for violating a protection order.

The court also labeled his partner, Shelly Miller: a risk so significant she was barred from caregiving. The subsequent record alleges a chilling pattern:
When Craig Miller’s own daughter initiated a police report against him for abuse in 2022 (Exhibit FF) , he did not face consequences.
Instead, he and his barred partner participated in a retaliatory legal action, using a “secret report” and a biased GAL to have the protective mother removed.

The “emergency” used to justify this removal was based on allegations against Meghann that DCF’s own General Counsel later confirmed in writing were “unsubstantiated” (Exhibit E).

The final, damning fact is this: The 2024 removal was a successful circumvention of justice. It allowed a man, already found to be an abuser by one court, to use a different court to remove the fit parent and install the barred one. The record does not just show a “bad person”; it documents a continuing, bad-faith manipulation of the judicial system built on deceit, financial non-disclosure , and a documented “history of abuse”
