WI Court of Appeals – District IV
Case Name: Sarah Mae Pappathopoulos v. Christopher Thomas Pappathopoulos
Case No.: 2017AP399
Officials: Lundsten, P.J., Kloppenburg and Fitzpatrick, JJ.
Focus: Divorce – Child Placement and Maintenance
Sarah Pappathopoulos and Christopher Pappathopoulos were divorced in 2016. Christopher appeals two parts of the judgment of divorce. First, Christopher contends that the circuit court’s order continuing the appointment of a Parent Coordinator, over Christopher’s objection, to decide various issues concerning the child of the parties exceeded the circuit court’s authority. We agree and reverse those portions of the judgment of divorce. Second, Christopher argues that the circuit court erred in denying his maintenance claim. We conclude that the circuit court properly exercised its discretion in denying Christopher’s maintenance claim and affirm that decision of the circuit court.
