Supreme Court of Connecticut
O. A. v. J. A.
January 27, 2022342 Conn. 45
Summary
The court affirmed pendente lite awards of alimony, attorney's fees, and expert fees despite the defendant's claim that a postnuptial agreement barred those payments. It held that a trial court may defer deciding the agreement's enforceability until trial on the merits, particularly when immediate support is necessary and enforceability would require extensive factual development. The court also recognized that later financial orders may be adjusted if the agreement is ultimately enforced. No separate opinions were filed.
