Family Law Appellate Court Opinion

by Greenlee, Rebecca

 

AC 46883 - Cardona v. Padilla ("The plaintiff, Priscilla I. Cardona, appeals from the judgment of the trial court awarding the defendant, Raymond J. Padilla, who lives in Florida, primary physical custody of their minor child (child) and ordering visitation for the plaintiff with the child. On appeal, the plaintiff claims that the court abused its discretion in making its custody and visitation orders and by issuing an order pursuant to Practice Book § 25-26 (g) when neither party has filed excessive motions or pleadings in this case. We agree with the plaintiff as to the court’s visitation order and, accordingly, reverse the judgment of the court in part and remand the case for a new hearing on visitation.")
