Gordon Gage v. Claudia Beleno (2011)

MEMORANDUM OF DECISION

Plaintiff brought this dissolution of marriage action before the court by writ, summons and complaint, returnable to the court on October 5, 2010.   The court held a hearing on November 22, 2010 related to the distribution of property pendente lite.   On March 25, 2011, a trial was held before the court at which the parties represented themselves.   That trial was continued until May 23, 2011.

The parties engaged in much dialogue about the disposition of property in this matter, but at the May 23, 2001 hearing, both agreed that each could retain the property currently in their possession.   The matter of property distribution being the only outstanding issue between the parties, the court makes the following findings:

1) The parties were married on July 25, 2009 in Watertown, Connecticut.

2) The plaintiff resided in the State of Connecticut for more than one year prior to the commencement of the action and the court has jurisdiction.

3) No children were born to the wife since the date of the marriage.

4) The defendant is not currently pregnant.

5) The family has never received public assistance.

6) The court finds that the allegations of the complaint are proven in truth.   The marriage between the parties has broken down irretrievably.   There is no hope for reconciliation of the parties to their marriage.

ORDERS

Based on the foregoing, the court orders the following:

1. A decree dissolving the marriage, on the ground of irretrievable breakdown, shall enter.

2. Neither party shall receive alimony, both having knowingly waived their right to do so.

4. Each party shall be responsible for his or her own medical insurance.

5. The parties shall each pay their own liabilities unless otherwise provided in these orders.

7. Each party shall be the sole owner of their respective home furnishings, personal effects and jewelry, presently in their physical custody.

8. Each party shall sign whatever documents are necessary, and are presented to them by the other party, to effectuate these orders.

There having been a contested hearing, the financial affidavits are hereby ordered unsealed.
