WI Court of Appeals – District III

Case Name: William James Holm v. Dawn Marie Holm

Case No.: 2017AP1838

Officials: Stark, P.J., Hruz and Seidl, JJ.

Focus: Divorce – Property Division

William Holm challenges the division of property and maintenance award following his divorce from Dawn Holm. William argues that although the circuit court claimed in the judgment to be dividing the property equally, in fact it divided the property unequally. Regarding the maintenance award, William contends the court intended to provide him the vast majority of the income and divide it 75/25 in William’s favor, but it did not order that result. According to William, only a denial of maintenance would have resulted in the income actually being divided 75/25 as the court intended. We affirm the property division and maintenance award but remand with instructions to correct an ambiguity in the judgment so that it conforms to the court’s oral ruling.
