Jensen v. Jensen

2 William first argues the circuit court made an error in computing Susans reasonable expenses, which led the court to incorrectly believe Susan needed maintenance to meet her expenses. He bases his claim of error on what he characterizes as inconsistent factual findings. He contends finding of fact number 18 shows the circuit court intended to deduct the mortgage payment of $594 from Susans expenses because William would be required to pay the outstanding balance. He argues finding of fact number 24 shows that the court intended to deduct household repairs/maintenance and miscellaneous expenses from Susans living expenses statement, which together totaled $1,013, because these expenses were speculative and unsupported by the record. Deducting these items from Susans proposed budget, she would have approximately $2,100 per month in expenses. However, in finding of fact number 35, the circuit court stated both parties need $3,100 to meet their budgets.
