The applicant mother and respondent father separated after a four-year common law relationship.
The mother sought custody, child support, spousal support, and payment of joint debts.
The court declined to make a formal custody order but granted the mother principal residence and final decision-making authority, noting the father's high-conflict behavior and attempts to undermine her parenting.
Finding that the father had significantly underreported his cash income from his carpentry business and failed to provide full financial disclosure, the court imputed his income at $135,000 per year.
The court ordered retroactive and ongoing child support, as well as retroactive spousal support on compensatory and needs-based grounds.
The mother's claim for debt repayment was dismissed for lack of evidence quantifying the father's share.
