Legal Question in Family Law in Connecticut

Divorce/Family Law

My daughter is getting divorced. Her attorney has worked out child support and alimony. In addition, her x agreed to 68% of required day care for her to earn a living. He has not paid his percentage of the $510 per month which I have paid. What are my rights? Can I sue him personally for reimbursement?

Re: Divorce/Family Law

If he was supposed to pay it pending the divorce and he didn't, your daughter can seek those monies from him by motion with the court for you in the divorce proceeding.

If there was no agreement or court order, your daughter's attorney should try to get that money back as part of the final agreement.

If there was no agreement or court order that he pay it during the proceeding, then, yes, I think you can sue him for a portion of it. He benefitted from your payments and you should be reimbursed. He may argue that you made that money a gift to him, but if you didn't then you may be successful. Small claims court is available up to $5000.00.
