1Dissent

VERTEFEUILLE, J.,

with whom HENNESSY, J., joins, dissenting. I respectfully disagree with the majority’s conclusion that the trial court improperly exercised its authority under General Statutes (Rev. to 1999) § 46b-86 (a)1 and improperly applied McHugh v. McHugh, 27 Conn. App. 724, 609 A.2d 250 (1992). I also disagree with the majority’s conclusion that the child support order in question was nonmodifiable, and I would decline to decide the issue because it was neither raised nor decided by the trial court. Accordingly, I respectfully dissent.
