MEMORANDUM OF DECISION
The trial of this matter commenced before this court on September 12, 1990 and concluded on September 18, 1990.
Immediately prior to the conclusion of the trial the parties submitted to the court a written agreement regarding the custody of the minor child issue of this marriage, Christopher Marinaccio, born June 27, 1988. The court approved the agreement after clarifying a few points on the record and the agreement, which is on file, was made an order of the court.
The court further found that the parties were married on April 25, 1986  at New Haven, Connecticut; that the court had jurisdiction; and that the marriage had broken down irretrievably. Accordingly, the marriage was dissolved and the plaintiff wife's maiden name of Ruggiero was restored.
In addition, the court has taken into consideration all of the criteria of 46b-81, 46b-82 and 46b-84 of the Conn. General Statutes, and further orders as follows:
