Supreme Court of Connecticut
D. S. v. D. S.
January 7, 2025351 Conn. 1
Summary
The court affirmed the judgment upholding the classification of the defendant’s potential law-firm retirement payments as too speculative to constitute marital property. Because the firm could unilaterally reduce or terminate the payments and other evidence showed meaningful risks to their continuation and amount, the payments were properly treated as potential income for alimony. The court also upheld alimony tied to the defendant’s continued employment or receipt of retirement payments because the trial court considered the statutory and equitable factors and acted within its discretion.
