Following an 18-year marriage, the court determined competing equalization claims, a claim for unequal division of net family property, and the respondent’s claim for spousal support.
The applicant alleged the respondent held multimillion-dollar assets in Egypt and that an equal division would be unconscionable because of his conduct and minimal contribution to the marriage.
The court rejected the alleged Egyptian asset claims, disallowed unproven personal loan deductions, fixed the matrimonial home value at $840,000, and ordered an equalization payment of $607,569.66 payable by instalments.
The court held that the respondent had both compensatory and non-compensatory spousal support entitlement, but found the compensatory claim was modest, and restructured support at higher amounts for a shorter duration terminating in 2020.
A restraining order was refused.
