AC44326 - A. D. v. L. D. (In this dissolution matter, the defendant, L. D., appeals from the judgment of the trial court granting a postjudgment motion to modify custody and visitation filed by the plaintiff, A. D. On appeal, the defendant claims that the court (1) violated his fundamental right to family integrity as guaranteed under the constitution of the United States, (2) created a near impossibility that he could ever regain visitation with his children, and (3) violated his federal due process rights by applying an incorrect burden of proof to the plaintiff's motion to modify custody. We affirm the judgment of the court.)

AC45507 - R. H. v. M. S. (The self-represented defendant, M. S., appeals from the judgment of the trial court granting the application for relief from abuse filed by the plaintiff, R. H., her former spouse, pursuant to General Statutes § 46b-15. On appeal, the defendant claims that the court improperly (1) extended the protection of the ex parte restraining order to the parties' children, and (2) found that the defendant had stalked the plaintiff. We agree with the defendant's first claim and, thus, we vacate the ex parte restraining order to the extent that it extended protection to the parties' children. We affirm the judgment of the trial court issuing the one year restraining order.)

AC44693 - Strauss v. Strauss (“The defendant, Mark E. Strauss, appeals from the judgment of the trial court denying his post-judgment motion to vacate a series of orders finding him in contempt for his failure to comply with a separation agreement that he entered into with the plaintiff, Tami G. Strauss, in connection with the underlying judgment dissolving their marriage. On appeal, the defendant claims that the court improperly (1) concluded that it lacked authority to vacate its prior contempt orders, and (2) denied his motion to stay the trial court proceedings during the pendency of this appeal. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.”)
