Decision released March 10, 1987
Action for the dissolution of a marriage, and for other relief, brought to the Superior Court in the judicial district of Hartford-New Britain at Hartford, where the court, Covello, J., ordered the defendant to make certain child support and alimony payments pendente lite, and the defendant appealed to this court. No error.
Timothy Sheehan filed a brief for the appellant (defendant).
Lloyd Frauenglass and Nancy L. Thomson filed a brief for the appellee (plaintiff).
The defendant appeals from the trial court's judgment entering certain pendente lite orders in this dissolution case. The trial court issued a comprehensive and well reasoned memorandum of decision setting forth its factual findings in detail and applying the appropriate legal criteria. See Kaplan v. Kaplan, 8 Conn. App. 114, 116-18, 510 A.2d 1024 (1986). There is no requirement in the applicable statutes which makes it mandatory that a trial court consider the federal tax implications of its financial orders. The court's judgment was not an abuse of its necessarily broad discretion. McPhee v. McPhee, 186 Conn. 167, 177, 440 A.2d 274 (1982); Niles v. Niles, 9 Conn. App. 240, 254, 518 A.2d 932 (1986); Jetmore v. Jetmore, 6 Conn. App. 632, 634, 507 A.2d 116 (1986).
