Appeal of a family law trial decision involving a short marriage with a religious ceremony in July 2017 and civil ceremony in April 2019.
The trial judge dismissed the appellant's claims for a resulting or constructive trust in the matrimonial home and for equalization of net family property, finding the appellant not credible due to inconsistent financial disclosure, use of false names, doctored bank statements, and manipulative conduct.
The trial judge imputed annual income of $86,553 to the appellant for child support purposes, awarded the respondent a $20,000 Mehr payment under the marriage contract, and ordered costs of $85,000.
The Court of Appeal dismissed all grounds of appeal, finding no palpable and overriding errors, no denial of natural justice, no bias, and no basis to interfere with the costs award.
