The parties separated after a 13-year marriage.

The respondent failed to provide financial disclosure, resulting in his pleadings being struck except for parenting issues.

In an uncontested trial, the court imputed the respondent's income at $294,420 based on expert evidence of his corporate earnings and personal expenses paid through the business.

The applicant was awarded substantial retroactive and ongoing child and spousal support, exclusive possession of the matrimonial home, occupation rent of $165,000, and an equalization payment of $241,514.24, which included an unequal division for property damage caused by the respondent.

The court also ordered the respondent to obtain a $1.5 million life insurance policy to secure his support obligations and issued a non-depletion order.

The applicant brought a motion for interim spousal support, the immediate sale of the matrimonial home, interim disbursements for expert fees, and financial disclosure.

The parties were married for 40 years but maintained separate finances, with the respondent acquiring significant wealth through inheritance late in the marriage.

The court dismissed the claims for interim spousal support, finding no prima facie case for entitlement given the lack of financial dependency.

The court also dismissed the request for the immediate sale of the home and interim disbursements, but granted a limited order for financial disclosure.

The parties separated after a 31-year traditional marriage.

The applicant sought an equalization of net family property, spousal support, and a vesting order against a property owned by the respondent's corporation.

The court imputed an income of $50,000 to the respondent due to unreported cash income from his taxi business and non-compliance with financial disclosure.

The court ordered an equalization payment of $168,132.53 and a lump sum spousal support payment of $50,000.

Due to the respondent's history of defying court orders, the court pierced the corporate veil and granted a vesting order over the corporately-owned property to satisfy the equalization payment.
