Supreme Court of Connecticut
Nation-Bailey v. Bailey
April 21, 2015
Summary
The court held that the separation agreement unambiguously and permanently terminated the defendant's obligation to pay unallocated alimony and child support when the plaintiff began cohabiting as defined by General Statutes § 46b-86 (b). The reference to that statute incorporated its definition of cohabitation, but not its remedial authority to suspend or modify support. Because the agreement was self-executing, the trial court lacked authority to suspend support temporarily, and the judgment of the Appellate Court was affirmed.
