WI Court of Appeals – District III

Case Name: Nancy Mae Geidel v. David Albert Carow

Case No.: 2018AP1658

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

Focus: Abuse of Discretion – Divorce – Maintenance

David Carow appeals the spousal maintenance portion of a judgment dissolving his marriage to Nancy Geidel. Carow argues that the circuit court erroneously exercised its discretion by misapplying, or failing to apply, all of the statutory factors governing maintenance, and by failing to fully consider the fairness and support objectives before setting the maintenance award. We reject Carow’s arguments and affirm the judgment.
