Contempt; failure to pay maintenance

William S. Roush, Jr., appeals from a trial court order finding him in contempt for willful nonpayment of maintenance to his former spouse, Nancy Hanna Roush. He additionally appeals a subsequent order finding that he had failed to purge the contempt order and sanctioning him to report to the Waukesha county huber facility for a weekend. Roush argues on appeal that the trial court failed to apply the correct legal standard in evaluating whether his actions constituted contempt. He additionally contends that the "purge terms" imposed by the trial court were a misuse of discretion and exceeded its lawful authority. We reject Roush's arguments and affirm the orders. This opinion will not be published.
