Following a seven-day family law trial, the court resolved outstanding monetary issues including equalization of net family property and child support.
The court permitted the respondent to pursue an equalization claim despite deficient pleadings, ordering the applicant to pay $474.50.
The court declined to impute additional income to the applicant for intentional under-employment, finding his reduced hours were due to construction industry conditions and bona fide medical leaves.
Given the new equal shared parenting arrangement, the court applied section 9 of the Federal Child Support Guidelines and ordered the applicant to pay a set-off amount of $341 per month in child support, with section 7 expenses apportioned 70/30.
