The judgment, insofar as appealed from, upon a decision of that court dated February 15, 2013, made after a nonjury trial, and upon an order of that court dated September 3, 2013, in effect, directed the defendant to distribute to the plaintiff only those accounts or investments set forth in the parties’ stipulation of settlement dated May 27, 2010, that existed on the date of trial that had not yet been distributed, awarded no maintenance to the plaintiff, directed the defendant to pay child support in the sum of only $475.38 per week, and declined to award the plaintiff an attorney’s fee.
