The applicant sought child support, spousal support, and equalization of net family properties following a 16-year marriage.
The respondent husband claimed he was disabled, unemployed, and had no assets, asserting that properties and funds were owned by his parents.
The court found the husband and his parents lacked credibility and had failed to provide adequate financial disclosure.
The court imputed an income of $70,000 to the husband based on his intentional under-employment and hidden wealth.
Applying the presumption of resulting trust, the court found the husband held beneficial interests in several commercial properties registered in his mother's name.
The court ordered the husband to pay lump sum child and spousal support due to his history of non-payment and hidden assets, and ordered an equalization payment of $286,884.54 to the applicant.
