WI Court of Appeals – District IV

Case Name: Dana Kay Sacia v. Paul William Sacia

Case No.: 2017AP789

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

Focus: Divorce – Maintenance

Paul Sacia appeals the judgment of divorce from his former wife, Dana Sacia. Paul argues that the circuit court erroneously exercised its discretion by awarding Paul insufficient maintenance at the time of the divorce. We reject this argument and affirm the judgment.

Paul also appeals a post-judgment order terminating his maintenance. He argues that the circuit court unreasonably refused to grant him a second continuance to conduct discovery on Dana’s underlying post-judgment motion. He also argues that the court erred in concluding that there was a substantial change in circumstances that justified terminating his maintenance. We reject these arguments and affirm the order.
