1. “"Contrary to the plaintiff's claims on appeal, the court was well within its discretion in focusing on the lack of a change in her earning capacity, rather than on a change in her actual earnings. The plaintiff had the burden to establish the basis for the modification which she sought. A change in her actual earnings, even occurring without fault on her part, did not require the court to ignore the fact that she chose not to seek other employment or even to demonstrate that other suitable employment was unavailable to her. Under these circumstances, the plaintiff was required to establish that her earning capacity had changed substantially. See Wilkens v. Wilkens , 10 Conn. App. 576 , 580 , 523 A.2d 1371 (1987). She was not entitled to rest on the fact that her actual earnings had changed."”
