AC45708 - Margarita O. v. Fernando I. ("The self-represented defendant, Fernando I., appeals from the postdissolution judgment of the trial court finding the plaintiff, Margarita O., in contempt of a court order, which concerned the listing of the parties’ marital residence for sale, and distributing the proceeds from the sale of the residence, as well as from the court’s denial of his postjudgment motion to disqualify the judicial authority. Additionally, the plaintiff cross appeals from the court’s contempt finding. On direct appeal, we distill the defendant’s claims to be that the court (1) incorrectly calculated his share of the sale proceeds in several ways, including by reducing his share by $25,000 in postsecondary educational support that the court improperly ordered him to pay to the plaintiff, and (2) improperly denied his motion to disqualify. On cross appeal, the plaintiff claims that the court improperly found her in contempt because the order underlying the contempt finding was not clear and unambiguous. Turning first to the plaintiff’s cross appeal, we conclude that the order at issue was clear and unambiguous, and, therefore, we reject the plaintiff’s claim challenging the court’s contempt finding. With respect to the defendant’s direct appeal, we agree only with the defendant’s claim that the court improperly ordered him to pay, and deducted from his share of the sale proceeds, $25,000 in postsecondary educational support. Accordingly, we reverse in part the judgment of the trial court.")

AC46578 - Lukasik v. Kopinska ("The plaintiff, Czeslaw Lukasik, appeals from the judgment rendered by the trial court in this child custody action filed against the defendant, Karolina Kopinska. On appeal, the plaintiff claims that (1) the court abused its discretion by failing to make a specific finding of the presumptive child support amount before applying the deviation criteria, and (2) its child support award of $600 per week was arbitrary and not in accordance with the child support guidelines (guidelines). We agree with the plaintiff’s second claim and conclude that the court improperly deviated from the guidelines. Accordingly, we reverse the judgment with respect to the order of child support and remand the case for further proceedings on that issue. We affirm the judgment in all other respects.")
