Tuckman v. Tuckman
Supreme Court of Connecticut
61 A.3d 449 (Conn. 2013)
Relevant factsFree
In a high-income divorce, the trial court ordered $250 per child weekly in child support without determining either party's net income or addressing whether Karen's (defendant) reported S-corporation capital gains from Offices Limited were actually available income to her, despite her requesting clarification through a motion for articulation the trial court did not adequately answer.
IssueFree
Whether, in fashioning a child-support order, a trial court must determine the net incomes of the parties and examine the state's child-support guidelines and corresponding tables to determine the presumptive amount of support required.
