ELDRIDGE v. ELDRIDGE

(SC 15716)

244 Conn. 523 (1998)

STEPHEN C. ELDRIDGE v. PHYLLIS ELDRIDGE

Supreme Court of Connecticut.

Officially released April 21, 1998.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Richard L. Albrecht, with whom was Jocelyn B. Hurwitz, for the appellant (plaintiff).

Robert H. Rubin, for the appellee (defendant).

Callahan, C. J., and Borden, Berdon, Norcott, Katz, Palmer and McDonald, JS.

Opinion

KATZ, J.

The plaintiff husband appeals from the Appellate Court's affirmance of an order of contempt for his failure to pay weekly alimony. We conclude that it was not an abuse of the trial court's discretion to hold the plaintiff in contempt but that it was an abuse of its discretion to award the defendant attorney's fees of $15,067.50. Accordingly, we reverse that part of the Appellate Court judgment.
