The applicant brought a motion to strike the pleadings of her former husband and his mother for failing to comply with multiple court orders requiring financial disclosure.
The husband had repeatedly failed to provide valuations of his business interests and income reports over a period of nine years, offering various excuses related to his retained professionals and the pandemic.
The court found the husband's non-compliance to be exceptional and egregious, striking his Answer and allowing the applicant to proceed to an uncontested trial.
The mother-in-law's disclosure was also found deficient, but the court granted her one final opportunity to comply before her pleadings could be struck.
