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 conclude that the circuit court properly exercised its discretion in denying Christopher’s maintenance claim and affirm that decision of the circuit court.
