The applicant sought an unequal division of net family property, claiming the respondent recklessly depleted assets, and advanced an unjust enrichment claim alleging the farming operations were a joint family venture.
The court dismissed both claims, finding no evidence of unconscionable conduct or a joint family venture.
The court also rejected the applicant's expert valuation of farm equipment due to bias and accepted the respondent's valuation.
The applicant's claim for repayment of a loan was found to be statute-barred.
The court awarded the applicant $9,000 in occupation rent and ordered her to pay the respondent an equalization payment of $140,000, subject to deductions.
