Description

In this reservation the parties have
stipulated in substance as follows: The action was
instituted by the state on a verified petition of
the commissioner of welfare for an order requiring
the defendant to make payment to the state for the
support of his wife, Violetta. It was brought under
the provisions of 1112c of the 1953 Cumulative
Supplement to the General Statutes. Liability is
denied by the defendant on the ground that he owes
[142 Conn. 376]
no legal duty of support to his wife, who is a
recipient of public assistance under the state's
program of aid to the disabled. The state claims
that the defendant's liability depends only on his
ability to contribute. The defendant married Violetta
Jordan in 1921 and cohabited with her for over
twenty-five years. Their separation occurred
February 16, 1947. It was caused by Violetta, who,
without legal justification on her part and
without fault on the part of the defendant,
ordered him to leave their home. Prior to the
separation, the defendant and his wife were living
together in New Haven. The wife's daughter was
living in the household. She caused disharmony and
discord between the defendant and his wife,
subjected the defendant to verbal and physical
abuse and interfered with the management of the
household. The defendant's wife preferred to have
her daughter continue to reside with her and
ordered the defendant to leave. The next day the
defendant quitclaimed the property where they were
living to his wife and thereafter paid debts contracted
by himself and his wife amounting to about
$400. On or about September, 1951, the defendant
was arrested for nonsupport of his wife under the
provisions of 8586 of the General Statutes, and in
the Court of Common Pleas at New Haven was found
not guilty on October 17, 1951.
