The applicant brought a motion to find the respondent in contempt for failing to comply with previous court orders requiring financial disclosure in the context of the respondent's motion to change child support.
The court found that the respondent deliberately breached the disclosure orders, causing unnecessary delay and expense.
Rather than striking the respondent's pleadings, the court ordered him to pay a penalty of $24,900, representing $100 per day of non-compliance, failing which the applicant could return her motion to strike his pleadings.
