Howard B. Sosin v. Susan F. Sosin

Summary

The court held that the trial court did not improperly modify the marital-asset distribution by ordering the plaintiff to pay the defendant the unpaid balance of the lump-sum award. It further held that interest under § 37-3a may be awarded when money was unlawfully withheld even if the withholding party acted in good faith, and that the trial court did not abuse its discretion by awarding interest on the unpaid balance beginning on September 8, 2005. The court reversed the remand for a new interest hearing and directed reinstatement of the trial court's original interest order as clarified.
