Abuse of Discretion – Divorce – Child Placement
By: Derek Hawkins//April 11, 2017//
Listen to this articleWI Court of Appeals – District I
Case Name: Man H. Watson v. Julie E. Watson
Case No.: 2016AP588
Officials: Brennan, P.J., Kessler and Dugan, JJ
Focus: Abuse of Discretion – Divorce – Child Placement
Man H. Watson, pro se, appeals the circuit court’s judgment divorcing him from Julie E. Watson. Man argues the circuit court misused its discretion in awarding Julie primary placement of their two young children. He contends that the circuit court: (1) failed to give adequate weight to Julie’s interference with his relationship with the children; (2) improperly considered his abusive behavior toward Julie in denying him primary physical placement; and (3) should have ordered a placement schedule that would allow the children access to both parents on a regular basis. We affirm.
