AC47619 - Emrich v. Emrich (Alimony; “The plaintiff claims that the court abused its discretion in issuing that alimony order on the grounds that it (1) failed to properly consider all of the criteria set forth in General Statutes § 46b-82; (2) did not ‘scrutinize the parties’ financial affidavits equally’; (3) failed to consider the defendant’s own hand at the depletion of his property settlement; and (4) erroneously characterized her request for further alimony as a request for funds to expend on her children versus funds for ‘her benefit’ to fulfill ‘her need to see her children and grandchildren.’ (Emphasis omitted.) The plaintiff also claims that the court abused its discretion by declining to award additional court costs to her ‘as a self-represented party when she had only $8865.29 left in her bank account.’ We affirm the judgment of the trial court.”)
