re Anthony E. (July 11, 2006)
Connecticut Appellate Court
Family Law/Guardianship: This
case was an appeal from the judgment of the trial court modifying
a prior custody order and granting shared physical custody of
two minor children to the respondent mother. The issues on appeal
here were (1) did the trial court improperly find a material
change in the mother's circumstances and (2) did the trial court
abuse its discretion when it modified the original order of
custody without making a finding that doing so was in the children's
best interests.
