Family – maintenance – modification — change in circumstances

Gary Imig appeals from an order that denied his motion to reduce maintenance and granted Denise Imig’s motion to increase maintenance. Gary argues on appeal that the circuit court erred in finding that Denise’s current living expenses did not decrease, despite her cohabitation arrangement with another person, and in concluding that her expenses were consistent with the standard of living she enjoyed during her marriage to Gary. Gary also argues that it was error for the circuit court to conclude that his increase in income was a substantial change of circumstances that warranted an increased maintenance obligation. We reverse and remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. This opinion will not be published.
