AC44033 - Olson v. Olson (Dissolution of marriage; motion to dismiss; "The defendant, Brian Matthew Olson, appeals from the judgment of the trial court granting a motion to dismiss filed by the plaintiff, Cheryl Abbott Olson, in which the court concluded that it lacked subject matter jurisdiction to modify the parties' spousal support order that had been issued by a court of the United Kingdom. On appeal, the defendant claims that the trial court erred in dismissing his motion for modification of alimony on the basis that it lacked subject matter jurisdiction, and argues that (1) the court misapplied the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act, General Statutes ยง 46b-301 et seq., in determining that the United Kingdom had continuing, exclusive jurisdiction over the spousal support order; (2) the United Kingdom could not have continuing, exclusive jurisdiction because it lost its exclusiveness when the trial court, S. Richards, J., decided motions to modify alimony in 2013; (3) the application of the doctrine of comity demonstrates that Connecticut courts have jurisdiction to modify the foreign country order in this case; (4) the trial court erred in its reliance on this court's decision in Hornblower v. Hornblower, 151 Conn. App. 332, 94 A.3d 1218 (2014); and (5) the court erroneously relied on a United Kingdom statutory instrument, the Reciprocal Enforcement of Maintenance Orders (United States of America) Order 2007, in determining that the United Kingdom had continuing, exclusive jurisdiction to modify the support order. On the basis of our thorough review of the record and the applicable law, we agree with the defendant that the court erred in concluding that it lacked subject matter jurisdiction to modify the spousal support order at issue. Accordingly, we reverse the judgment of the trial court.")
