AC38940 - Baronio v. Stubbs ("The defendant, Donna Stubbs, appeals from the judgment of
the trial court awarding her and the plaintiff, Pascal Baronio, joint legal
custody of their minor child. On appeal, the defendant claims that the court:
(1) ‘erred in presuming that shared physical custody was in the child’s best
interest where there was not an agreement by the defendant to an award of joint
legal custody within the meaning of General Statutes § 46b-56a (b)’; and (2) ‘committed
plain error by stating during pendente lite proceedings that it wanted to see an
increase in the plaintiff’s parenting time, and by indicating before it heard
all the evidence at trial that it was inclined to award joint legal custody to
the plaintiff.’ We affirm the judgment of the trial court.")
