Supreme Court of Connecticut
Laura E. Maturo v. Frank A. Maturo
May 4, 2010296 Conn. 80
Summary
The court held that the trial court improperly awarded child support based on an open-ended 20 percent share of the defendant's fluctuating annual net cash bonus and on 20 percent of future tax refunds. The child-support awards were inconsistent with the governing statutory criteria and the principles requiring guideline-consistent, need-based awards, while the alimony portion of the tax-refund order and the division of marital assets were upheld. The judgment was reversed only as to child support and remanded for reconsideration of all interrelated child-support orders.
