Time Limited Alimony May Be Ordered for Reasons Other Than Self-Sufficiency

March 25th, 2009

Case:  Utz v. Utz (AC 28780) February 2009

Court:  Connecticut Appellate Court

Trial Court:  Norwich

Synopsis:  Although a divorce court may order time-limited alimony to allow a spouse to support herself while she re-enters the job market, a court may order such alimony for other reasons.  Thus it was not error to award weekly alimony of $1000 to a wife even if that amount did not provide her with any incentive to become employed.
