A dispute over children’s orthodontic bills brought Beebe before the Connecticut Appellate Court in Doyle v. Doyle. He represented Joseph M. Doyle, the plaintiff and appellee, in the appeal decided in May 2014. The children’s mother had sought to hold their father in contempt for failing to pay 80 percent of the orthodontic costs for two of their children. Their divorce and separation agreement dated to June 23, 2010. At issue on appeal were the denial of her contempt motion and motion to reargue, along with whether the court should have relied on child support guidelines rather than contract interpretation. The appellate court affirmed the trial court’s judgment in an opinion officially released May 20, 2014.
