AC40437 - In re Kyllan V. (Termination of parental rights; collateral estoppel; "The respondent father appeals from the judgment of the trial court terminating his parental rights with respect to his biological daughter, K, pursuant to General Statutes § 45a-717 (g). The respondent claims on appeal that the trial court improperly relied on the adjudicatory findings from a prior proceeding involving two of his other children to support the adjudicatory ground in the present case, namely, that because of a parental act of commission or omission, K was denied care, guidance, or control necessary for her physical, educational, moral, or emotional well-being as required by the statute. We agree with the respondent that the trial court improperly applied collateral estoppel in determining that K was denied the care, guidance, or control necessary for her physical, educational, moral, or emotional well-being as a result of the respondent's act of commission or omission. Accordingly, we reverse the judgment and remand the case for a new trial.")

AC39241 - Toland v. Toland ("The plaintiff, Lita Wickser Toland, appeals from the
judgment of the trial court dissolving her marriage to the defendant, John
Gerard Toland, rendered after the court denied her motion to vacate and granted
the defendant’s motion to confirm an arbitrator’s award. On appeal, the
plaintiff claims (1) that the arbitration proceeding involved a restricted
submission, warranting expanded judicial review of the arbitrator’s award of
alimony and property division. Alternatively, she argues that the trial court improperly
confirmed the award because: (2) the award violates the public policy
underlying General Statutes §§ 46b-81 and 46b-82 and case law construing those
statutes; (3) the award contravenes General Statutes § 52-418 given the arbitrator’s
evident partiality and manifest disregard of the law; (4) the trial court committed
plain error by confirming the arbitrator’s decision; and (5) the arbitrator improperly
awarded attorney’s fees. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.")
AC38991 - Kimberly C. v. Anthony C. ("The plaintiff, Kimberly C., appeals from the judgment of the
trial court dissolving her marriage to the defendant, Anthony C. On appeal, the
plaintiff claims that the court improperly (1) awarded the parties joint legal
custody of their minor child by relitigating the issue of the occurrence of
domestic violence between the parties when that issue had been determined in a
prior proceeding and the court was bound by the finding on domestic violence in
that proceeding by virtue of the doctrine of collateral estoppel, and (2)
denied the plaintiff’s motions for sexual behavior evaluation and substance
abuse evaluation of the defendant. We disagree and, accordingly, affirm the
judgment of the trial court.")
