We granted the petition limited to the following issue: "Whether in a case arising under General Statutes § 46b-62 the trial court may properly award reasonable attorney's fees to a parent prosecuting a contempt motion concerning the care and support of a minor child when the parent prevails but the court does not adjudicate the respondent to be in contempt?" Dobozy v. Dobozy, 239 Conn. 909, 682 A.2d 999 (1996). The record in this case discloses the following facts.

On certification the Supreme Court answered the following question in the affirmative: "Whether in a case arising under General Statutes § 46b-62 the trial court may properly award reasonable attorneys fees to a parent prosecuting a contempt motion concerning the care and support of a minor child when the parent prevails but the court does not adjudicate the respondent to be in contempt?" Dobozy v. Dobozy, 239 Conn. 909 (1996). We have, moreover, found nothing in the history of the divorce reform legislation to suggest that, when an aggrieved parent brings a contempt action to enforce compliance with child care and support orders, the trial court's authority to award attorneys fees under § 46b-62 is contingent upon a finding that the respondent is in contempt.
