Case No. 95-0754.
Opinion Released: October 17, 1996 Opinion Filed: October 17, 1996 This opinion will not be published. See RULE 809.23(1)(b)5, STATS.
APPEAL from an order of the circuit court for Dane County: P. CHARLES JONES, Judge. Affirmed.
Before Vergeront, J., Paul C. Gartzke and Robert D. Sundby, Reserve Judges.
Kathleen Stavlo appeals from an order denying her motion for a retroactive increase in child support. The issue is whether this court is empowered to create a policy exception to § 767.32(1m), STATS., to award a retroactive increase in child support. We are not empowered to create an exception to § 767.32(1m), which precludes a retroactive modification of child support unless it is to correct a previous error in calculation. Therefore, we affirm.
The trial court applied the proper legal standards to the relevant facts and reached the correct decision. Therefore, we incorporate the trial court's memorandum decision and affirm its order. See WIS. CT. APP. IOP VI(5)(a) (June 13, 1994) (court of appeals may adopt the trial court's opinion).
By the Court. — Order affirmed.
