SAMPLE LEGAL CASES

Court Conditions Alimony Payments on the Sale of the Parties’ Marital Residence
Following trial in a dissolution of marriage action pending in the Superior Court for the Judicial District of Stamford, the Court awarded the wife alimony, but conditioned payments on the sale of the marital residence.  The parties were married in 1973 and were the parents of two children, both of whom were over the age of twenty-three at the time of trial.  The husband was most recently employed by a family run business he formed in the early 1990’s, until he quit on January 1, 2012.
Court Grants Wife’s Motion to Dismiss Divorce Action Where Parties Moved to Connecticut with Intention of Returning to California
Before filing for divorce in Connecticut, prospective litigants must satisfy certain statutory jurisdictional criteria.  This often becomes an issue where parties were married in Connecticut, but one spouse (or both) subsequently moved to another state.  As illustrated by a decision rendered in the Superior Court of Stamford, this type of situation could impact a court’s ability to hear the case.
Determining Jurisdiction in Custody Cases Under the UCCJEA
When a parent relocates with minor children following the entry of custody orders, clients are often faced with the challenge of determining where to file post judgment motions.  A decision rendered in the Superior Court of Norwich explains the court’s authority, or jurisdiction, in such instances.  In that particular case, the parties were the parents of one minor child.
