This section contains the nature of the case and procedural background.

H and W were married and in 1968 obtained a Mexican divorce decree. Both H and W participated in the process and appeared before the Mexican court. The validity of that divorce is not being contested but the issue of whether the expense of one their children attending a boarding school is being debated. W made a motion that the decree for divorce from the Mexican court be made a decree of the Connecticut court. H objected to this motion. The court allowed the amendment and H demurred for relief contending that our courts may recognize an alien decree, but they cannot enforce it by making it a decree of the present court.
