Wisconsin Court of Appeals
Civil
Family custody — physical placement — child support — modification
Pedro Lopez appeals from an order dismissing his motion for modification of custody, physical placement and child support. Lopez argues the circuit court erroneously exercised its discretion by utilizing for its physical placement ruling the substantial change in circumstances standard under Wis. Stat. ß 767.451(1)(b),[2] rather than the best interest standard under Wis. Stat. ß 767.41(5). Lopez also argues that even if ß 767.451(1)(b) is the appropriate standard, the court erred by finding Lopez failed to show a substantial change in circumstances.
We reject Lopez’s arguments and affirm. This opinion will not be published.
