01-3149 In re the Finding of Contempt in Schommer v. Schommer

By: dmc-admin//September 30, 2002//

Listen to this article

Michael Schommer appeals an order finding him in contempt for failure to pay an arrearage in his child support obligation. Schommer claims the trial court erred in finding him in contempt because his former wife, Mary Garcia, received supplement security income (SSI) benefits for the parties’ disabled child, and therefore he should not be ordered “to pay again for something that has already been paid.” We conclude, however, that his attempt to challenge his support obligation in the present appeal comes too late.

Accordingly, we affirm the order finding him in contempt for failure to comply with the support orders.

This opinion will not be published.

Dist IV, Dane County, Flanagan, J., Deininger, J.

Attorneys:

For Appellant: Michael W. Schommer, Cottage Grove

For Respondent: Mary L. Garcia Cottage Grove
