This family law trial addressed complex financial issues between former spouses after a protracted separation, including equalization of net family property, post-valuation date adjustments, and occupation rent for the matrimonial home.
The court assessed the credibility of both parties, determined the value of various assets and liabilities, and ruled on the deductibility of the husband's alleged pre-marriage assets and the excludability of the wife's gifted shares.
The decision also considered the wife's conduct regarding the delayed sale of the matrimonial home and the husband's claim for occupation rent, ultimately ordering a net payment from the husband to the wife, alongside a significant occupation rent payment from the wife to the husband.
