During the past term, the Supreme Court has readdressed how child support awards should be developed when the parents are high income earners.

At trial of Tuckman v. Tuckman, 308 Conn. 194 (2013), the defendant sought an unallocated alimony and child support order. The trial court awarded her no alimony and child support of $250 per child per week. The defendant asked the court to articulate whether it had accepted either party’s child support calculation worksheet and to identify what the trial court had found the net income of each party to be. The court did not address these requests.
