2009AP2287 In re the marriage of: Phelan v. Phelan

Listen to this article

Family
Maintenance; modification

David Michael Phelan appeals from that portion of an order of the circuit court that modified the amount of maintenance he pays to Tracy Beth Phelan, and the order that denied his motion to convert child support and maintenance payments into a family support payment. David argues on appeal that Tracy did not establish that the existing maintenance award was insufficient to enable her to maintain her pre-divorce standard of living, and that the court did not properly explain its decision to deny his request to have the maintenance and child support payments converted to family support. Because we conclude that the circuit court did not properly explain its reasons for both decisions, we reverse and remand the case to the circuit court for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. This opinion will not be published.
