Carlton v. Carlton, No. 300158 (Jan. 16, 1991)

[EDITOR'S NOTE: This case is unpublished as indicated by the issuing court.] MEMORANDUM OF DECISION The parties were married on February 15, 1958 at New Haven, Connecticut.

All jurisdictional requirements have been met.

The marriage of the parties has broken down irretrievably and the same is hereby dissolved.

The court has considered the statutory criteria contained in Connecticut General Statutes 46b-81 and 46b-82 and enters the following orders:

1. All right, title and interest in the property located at CT Page 733 474 Huntington Street, New Haven, is awarded to the plaintiff. The plaintiff shall be responsible for all outstanding mortgages, liens and encumbrances on the property as well as taxes, insurance, and all costs associated with ownership and maintenance of the property. He shall indemnify and hold the defendant harmless thereon.

2. The plaintiff shall execute a mortgage note and deed in favor of the defendant in the amount of $42,000, payable in the following manner: $30,000 on or before April 15, 1991 and the balance on or before April 15, 1994. The award of property shall be effective upon the plaintiff's execution of the mortgage note and deed.

3. The defendant is awarded one hundred percent of the survivor (contingent) annuity provided for in the plaintiff's pension plan, and shall remain beneficiary of any death benefit of the pension for her lifetime.

4. The plaintiff shall pay to the defendant as alimony $100.00 per week until the death of either party or the defendant's remarriage.

5. The plaintiff shall cooperate in maintaining the defendant on the medical insurance plan available through his employment for as long as the law allows or for as long as any benefit or pension plan allows, whichever is longer, at her expense.

6. Twenty-five percent of the husband's pension at Pratt and Whitney shall be conveyed to the wife by way of a Qualified Domestic Relations Order which shall be prepared for approval by the Court by defendant's counsel. The pension benefit to be allocated shall be determined by multiplying the husband's total pension benefit at the time he retires by a fraction consisting of a denominator equal to the husband's total years of credit as a Plan participant and a numerator of 18.

7. The issue of personal property is referred to the Family Relations Office for mediation and the court retains jurisdiction over the issue of personal property.
