Most-quoted passages

2 later decisions quote this exact passage“[ General Statutes §] 46b-62 governs the award of attorney's fees in dissolution proceedings. That section provides in part that the court may order either spouse ... to pay the reasonable attorney's fees of the other in accordance with their respective financial abilities and the criteria set forth in [ General Statutes §] 46b-82.... The criteria set forth in § 46b-82 are the length of the marriage, the causes for the annulment, dissolution of the marriage or legal separation, the age, health, station, occupation, amount and sources of income, vocational skills, employability, estate and needs of each of the parties and the award, if any, which the court may make pursuant to [§] 46b-81, and, in the case of a parent to whom the custody of minor children has been awarded, the desirability of such parent's securing employment.... An award of counsel fees under [ § 46b-62 ] calls for the exercise of judicial discretion.... In exercising its discretion, the court must consider the statutory criteria set out in §§ 46b-62 and 46b-82 and the parties' respective financial abilities.”
