WI Court of Appeals – District IV

Case Name: Tatiana S. Laiter v. Michael Lyubchenko

Case No.: 2018AP624

Officials: Fitzpatrick, P.J., Blanchard, and Kloppenburg, JJ.

Focus: Divorce – Property Division

Michael Lyubchenko appeals the property division portion of a judgment dissolving his marriage to Tatiana Laiter. Lyubchenko argues that the circuit court erred by: (1) double counting Laiter’s interest in a business she owned and operated with a third party; (2) misapplying the marital waste doctrine; (3) erroneously determining the value of Laiter’s business; and (4) failing to rule on how the parties would split visitation-related travel expenses for their minor child. For the reasons discussed below, we affirm the judgment of the circuit court, and remand the matter to the circuit court for an exercise of its discretion on the issue of who will pay for visitation-related travel expenses.
