AC46050 - De Almeida-Kennedy v. Kennedy ("In this postjudgment dissolution matter,
the self-represented defendant, James Kennedy,
appeals from the judgment of the trial court denying
his motion for modification of his unallocated alimony
and child support obligation. On appeal, the defendant
claims that the court abused its discretion in (1)
determining that the change in residence of the parties’
older child did not constitute a substantial change in
circumstances, (2) denying the defendant’s motion
without determining the child support component of
the unallocated order, (3) interpreting the unallocated
support obligation as set forth in the parties’ separation
agreement to be nonmodifiable, and (4) disallowing the
testimony of the parties’ older child as to the alleged
cohabitation of the plaintiff, Fatima K. De Almeida-Kennedy. We reverse in part the judgment of the court.")
AC45727 - Marshall v. Marshall ("In this marital dissolution action,
the defendant, John Marshall II, appeals from the judgment of the trial court dissolving his marriage to the
plaintiff, Margaret Marshall, challenging the factual and
legal bases for the court’s alimony and child support
orders. On appeal, the defendant claims that the court
improperly (1) relied on the plaintiff’s allegedly manipulated 2020 income in fashioning the alimony and child
support orders, rather than relying on the plaintiff’s
2021 partnership distributions, and, alternatively, (2)
based those support orders on the plaintiff’s reported
income rather than on her earning capacity. We disagree
and, accordingly, affirm the judgment of the trial court.")
