[EDITOR'S NOTE: This case is unpublished as indicated by the issuing court.] MEMORANDUM OF DECISION
1)  The parties intermarried on August 26, 1979, Jamaica, West Indies.
  2)  At least one of the parties had resided in the State of Connecticut for one year next preceding the commencement of this action.
  3)  As credibly testified to by the plaintiff, the marriage is broken down irretrievably and there is no hope for reconciliation.
  4)  Pursuant to the agreement, which the court finds to be equitable and in the best interest of the one minor child, issue of the marriage, Davel, the court vests sole custody with the plaintiff.
5)  Mother shall have liberal visitation.
  6)  The child support guidelines are appropriately calculated for the present time. Thus, the defendant mother will pay the sum of twelve ($12.00) dollars per week support and un-reimbursed medical bills shall be shared equally.
  7)  The court notes that the defendant is not earning at her capacity. Therefore, Davel is referred to the Family Support Enforcement Unit for follow-up on this issue.
