1. “case law reflects that parties in a dissolution action are [u]nlike civil litigants who stand at arm's length from one another .... For this reason, and because parties in a dissolution action need information about each other's income and assets to pursue their cause of action, [Connecticut] case law imposes a duty on parties in a dissolution action to fully and frankly disclose their financial information. [Connecticut] decisional law, however, has limited this fiduciary-like duty to disclosure and, in light of that disclosure obligation, to proving the absence of harm once proper disclosure has not occurred[.]”

2. “It is a fundamental principle of appellate review that our appellate courts do not presume error on the part of the trial court.... Rather, we presume that the trial court, in rendering its judgment ... undertook the proper analysis of the law and the facts..... [T]he trial court's ruling is entitled to the reasonable presumption that it is correct unless the party challenging the ruling has satisfied its burden demonstrating the contrary.”
