Family – contempt

Civil
Family – contempt
APPEAL from an order of the circuit court for Dane County: RICHARD G. NIESS, Judge. Affirmed.
Leslie Martin appeals the circuit court’s order holding him in continuing contempt for failing to make an equalization payment that the court ordered in this divorce case.[2] Leslie argues that the circuit court improperly exercised its discretion in granting Jeanne Martin’s motion for contempt because the amount of the equalization payment at issue was erroneous or ambiguous and because he did not willfully or intentionally withhold payment. He also argues that the court improperly exercised its discretion in setting remedial sanctions for the contempt that caused him to suffer harsh tax consequences and had no evidentiary basis. For the following reasons, I affirm.
DISTRICT IV; Dane County; RICHARD G. NIESS, BLANCHARD, P.J.
2014AP000626 Leslie E. Martin, III v. Jeanne S. A. Martin
