1. “It is conceded that plaintiff could recover in an independent action the reasonable value of necessaries already furnished the minor and of that fact there can be no doubt. That is as far as the plaintiff could go in this action. To secure provision for future support the plaintiff must proceed under the statute and in the court where the divorce judgment was rendered. Such a proceeding is a continuance of the original action. [Robinson v. Robinson, 268 Mo. 703 , 711.] That being true, the jurisdiction to determine the matter of future support remains in the court where the decree of divorce was rendered and attaches to the divorce suit and cannot be determined in an independent action. [Worthington v. Worthington, 212 Mo. App. 216 ; Wald v. Wald, 168 Mo. App. 377 ; Laumeier v. Laumeier, 308 Mo. 201 , 271 S.W. 481 .]”
