Family
Physical placement; GAL appointments

John Matousek appeals from a post-divorce order denying his motion to modify his children’s physical placement schedule. The sole issue on appeal is whether the circuit court was required to appoint a guardian ad litem before deciding the motion. We conclude that the court was required to appoint a guardian ad litem under Wis. Stat. § 767.407(1) (2007-08) because the motion was one which, if granted, would substantially alter the amount of time each parent would spend with the children. Accordingly, we reverse the order and remand for further proceedings as set forth in this opinion. This opinion will not be published.
