WI Court of Appeals – District IV

Case Name: David L. Studer v. Charlene K. Studer

Case No.: 2017AP1281

Officials: Lundsten, P.J., Sherman and Blanchard, JJ.

Focus: Divorce – Maintenance Award

Charlene Studer appeals from a circuit court judgment of divorce requiring her former spouse, David Studer, to pay her maintenance of $1,000 per month until she is sixty-two years old. Charlene argues that the circuit court erroneously exercised its discretion by not sufficiently articulating the basis for the amount or duration of its maintenance award. We reject Charlene’s arguments and affirm the circuit court’s judgment, though we remand so that the circuit court can fix a clerical error in the judgment regarding Charlene’s birthdate.
