• 230 Conn. App. 710

Syllabus

The defendant appealed from the trial court's judgment granting in part a motion for order filed by the plaintiff in a postjudgment dissolution matter. The defendant claimed that the court acted in excess of its authority when it ordered a transfer of custodianship from the defendant to the plaintiff of an education savings account established pursuant to statute (26 U.S.C. § 529). Held: The trial court acted within its authority pursuant to the relevant statutes (§§ 46b-56 and 46b-84) in ordering a transfer of the custodianship of the § 529 account to the plaintiff, the minor child's custodial parent, as the § 529 account was established postdissolution by agreement of the parties expressly for the benefit of the parties' minor child and the transfer of the custodianship of the § 529 account was distinct from an order modifying the division of marital property.
