Beverly (W) commenced divorce proceedings in Ohio. Eventually, W brought an action for dissolution of the marriage on the ground that she had lived separately and apart from the defendant for more than one year. W withdrew that action after the parties briefly resumed cohabitation. In 1992, W brought another divorce proceeding. She withdrew that action after the H obtained employment in Connecticut where she was residing. In 1997, W brought a divorce proceeding in the judicial district of Stamford-Norwalk, which she subsequently withdrew when she commenced the present action in Danbury seeking dissolution of her marriage on the ground of irretrievable breakdown. H filed a motion to dismiss the action, or, in the alternative, to transfer the action to the judicial district of Stamford-Norwalk. The court denied H's motion. The court dissolved the parties' marriage and entered various financial orders. H appealed.
