Kaplan v. Kaplan

Connecticut Appellate Court

Decided July 8, 1986No. 4220PublishedCited by 5 opinions

1Opinion of the CourtBorden, J.

The defendant appeals from the trial court’s denial of his motion to modify a judgment of dissolution of marriage rendered in 1975. The sole issue *115involves the circumstances under which a court may modify a judgment, which is silent on the issue of child support, in order to award support in favor of the custodial parent, in the absence of a showing of a substantial and unforeseen change in circumstances. The court denied the motion because the defendant failed to establish such a change of circumstances. Under the facts and circumstances of this case, we find error.

The facts are undisputed.…
