WI Court of Appeals – District III

Case Name: Mary Elaine Heimer Paulson v. Erik P. Paulson

Case No.: 2018AP401

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

Focus: Divorce – Child Placement

Mary Paulson, pro se, appeals from an order that denied her second motion to remove her children from Wisconsin, transferred primary physical placement of the children to their father, Erik Paulson, and denied Mary’s motion for reconsideration of a prior order finding her in contempt. Mary also appeals from an order that denied her subsequent motion for reconsideration on these issues. Mary contends: (1) the circuit court failed to hold a timely hearing on her removal motion; (2) the court improperly limited her time and ability to present witnesses on the contempt matter; and (3) the court improperly modified the physical placement of the children without addressing all of the statutory factors. We reject each of Mary’s contentions and affirm the court’s orders.
