Samuel V. Schoonmaker, IV of the The Schoonmaker Legal Group, LLC provides an informative update of family law cases in the State of Connecticut through his "Appellate Preview." Here is a recently submission by Attorney Schoonmaker:

Jeudy v. Jeudy, __ Conn.App. __. Affirmed.
(1) The trial court did not abuse its discretion by denying a motion to open a dissolution judgment. Facts supported the determination that abode service was adequate.
(2) The trial court properly denied a motion to open for fraud because of the defendant's inexcusable delay in raising the issue.
In re Anthony A., __ Conn.App. __. Affirmed.
The trial court properly found that a newborn child was neglected on the date a neglect petition was filed. The mother was inpatient at a psychiatric hospital, and the father was incarcerated.

Official Release Date: March 18, 2008.
