173 A.2d 140 (Conn. 1961)

Opinion

Argued June 7, 1961

Decided July 11, 1961

Action to make a decree of divorce obtained in Nevada the judgment and decree of the Superior Court and to recover payments alleged to be due under that decree for maintenance and support, brought to the Superior Court in Fairfield County at Stamford, where a demurrer to the complaint was sustained, Comley, J., and, the plaintiff failing to plead further, judgment was rendered for the defendant, from which the plaintiff appealed. No error.

John F. Lambert, for the appellant (plaintiff).

Samuel Gordon, for the appellee (defendant).


The plaintiff has appealed from a judgment rendered by the Superior Court when she failed to plead over after a demurrer to her complaint was sustained. She sought to have a Nevada decree of divorce made a judgment of the Superior Court and to enforce the payment of the support and maintenance allegedly incorporated in that decree. The court held that the pertinent provisions of a separation agreement between the parties was not made a part of the Nevada decree and that the plaintiff was not entitled to equitable relief. The court, in its memorandum of decision on the demurrer, fully covered the issues in the matter and reached a correct result. Curtis v. Curtis, 22 Conn. Sup. 349, 173 A.2d 137. A detailed opinion by us is unnecessary.
