Divorce – Abuse of Discretion – Maintenance

Listen to this articleWI Court of Appeals – District IV
Case Name: Mark J. Kuckuk v. Catherine E. Kuckuk
Case No.: 2017AP1149
Officials: Blanchard, Kloppenburg and Fitzpatrick, JJ.
Focus: Divorce – Abuse of Discretion – Maintenance
Mark Kuckuk and Catherine Kuckuk were divorced in 2011, and the Green County Circuit Court entered post-divorce orders on March 14, 2017, and May 9, 2017, that are the subjects of this appeal. The March 14, 2017 order refers to three separate subjects. We conclude that Mark has failed to develop arguments regarding two of those subjects, and this court lacks jurisdiction over the third subject of that order. For those reasons, we affirm the circuit court’s order entered on March 14, 2017. The May 9, 2017 order increased Mark’s maintenance obligation, and Mark appeals only that portion of the order. We conclude that the circuit court erroneously exercised its discretion in increasing Mark’s maintenance obligation and reverse the circuit court’s May 9, 2017 order.
