Connecticut Appellate Court

Tischbein v. Tischbein

495 A.2d 716, 4 Conn. App. 459, 1985 Conn. App. LEXIS 1045

Connecticut Appellate Court·Decided July 9, 1985·No. 3187·Published

Opinion

Per Curiam.

This appeal arises from a dissolution of marriage action. The trial court rendered a judgment dissolving the marriage and awarded the defendant wife the marital residence provided she execute a note and second mortgage for $10,000 payable to the plaintiff husband on the occurence of the first of the following events: the defendant wife’s death, the closing date if the house is transferred, or on September 15,1996. In addition, the trial court permitted the defendant wife to retain her vested pension, her savings bonds and stocks, her savings and checking account, and other items of personalty. In addition to the $10,000 note, the trial court permitted the plaintiff husband to retain his ownership in two automobiles, a check for approximately $500 and any personalty presently in his possession or control. The plaintiff husband appealed that judgment.

On appeal, the plaintiff challenges the trial court’s assignment of the marital property.¹ Connecticut’s [460]*460appellate courts have repeatedly, evidently to no avail, indicated that the scope of appellate review in domestic relations is limited to determining whether the trial court could reasonably conclude , as it did. Thode v. Thode, 190 Conn. 694, 699, 462 A.2d 4 (1983); Sweet v. Sweet, 190 Conn. 657, 664, 462 A.2d 1031 (1983); Carpenter v. Carpenter, 188 Conn. 736, 741-42, 453 A.2d 1151 (1982); Szilagyi v. Szilagyi, 3 Conn. App. 25, 28, 484 A.2d 469 (1984). This court has reviewed the record and finds that the trial court could reasonably conclude as it did.

There is no error.
