Associated Bank, N.A. v. Brogli

*759¶ 1 Arline A. Brogli appeals from an order adopting a referee's recommendation for the division of property interests, asserting various procedural problems with the court's adoption of the referee's amended report. Because the circuit court failed to address Arline's objection to the *39referee's *760amended report and adopted it without reviewing the evidence considered by the referee, the court was unable to appropriately exercise its discretion in determining whether the referee's challenged findings of fact were clearly erroneous as required by statute. We therefore reverse and remand.
