Ehrenzweig v. Ehrenzweig

This motion involves a recalcitrant defendant charged by his former wife with a continuing contumacious failure to comply with the alimony and child support obligations imposed upon him by a Connecticut judgment of divorce. Whereas the defendant was required to make simimonthly alimony and support payments of $1,010.10, he took it upon himself, without seeking or obtaining court approval, to modify this amount downward to $481. Commencing July 16, 1975 and extending over 25 consecutive payment dates through July 16, 1976, his reduced payments have resulted in accumulated arrears of $13,007.80.
