The applicant father sought custody of his young daughter after the respondent mother engaged in a severe pattern of parental alienation, false allegations of abuse, and the fabrication of electronic evidence.

During the four-week trial, the mother produced forged documents, including an altered paternity test and fake emails, before fleeing to India with her younger child.

The court granted sole custody to the father, finding him to be a capable and loving parent, while condemning the mother's extreme misconduct and misuse of electronic evidence.

The applicant brought an ex parte motion to enforce a family law judgment, seeking to pierce the corporate veil of an offshore company, issue garnishments, and obtain a vesting order for the respondent's shares.

The court granted leave to proceed ex parte due to the respondent's history of contempt and asset depletion.

However, the court adjourned the requests to pierce the corporate veil and issue garnishments to allow notice to affected third parties.

The court dismissed the request for a vesting order, finding it was functus officio and lacked jurisdiction under the Family Law Act, Family Law Rules, or Rules of Civil Procedure to grant new substantive relief after the final judgment had been entered.
