Wisconsin Court of Appeals
Civil
Family — child support – modification — earning capacity
Alan Bielen appeals an order that modified his divorce judgment by requiring him to pay child support to his ex-wife, Roxanne Brecke. Bielen argues the circuit court erred by: (1) finding that a substantial change in circumstances warranted a change in child support; (2) taking judicial notice of the fact that very few members of Brecke’s profession work five days per week; and (3) calculating child support using Brecke’s actual income instead of her earning capacity. We reject Bielen’s arguments and affirm. This opinion will not be published.
