Connecticut Court still retains jurisdiction to enforce the retirement pay distribution

In most divorce cases the distribution of pension and retirement benefits are not finalized for years. A recent Connecticut case of Shaw v. Shaw 62 Conn.L. Rptr. No. 20, 2016 indicates that the Connecticut Court still retains jurisdiction to enforce the retirement pay distribution even when both spouses have left the state. In this case, one spouse refused to cooperate and tried to avoid payment by leaving Connecticut.
