The parties separated after a long marriage and proceeded to a family law trial to resolve issues including the enforcement of a marriage contract, child support, equalization of net family property, occupation rent, and spousal support.

The court enforced the marriage contract's deferred dowry at the current conversion rate.

Income was imputed to the father due to undisclosed rental income from a foreign property, resulting in child support arrears.

The court valued the father's foreign property in the Gaza Strip based on expert evidence and ordered an equalization payment of $132,798.61 to the mother.

The mother's claims for occupation rent and spousal support were dismissed, and the matrimonial home was ordered to be sold.

Following a family law trial but before judgment was rendered, the respondent mother brought a motion to reopen the trial to admit fresh evidence regarding the sale of a co-owned property in the Gaza Strip.

The court applied the factors for reopening a trial and found the fresh evidence to be relevant and material to the disputed valuation of the property.

The motion was granted, and an order was issued requesting the Palestinian Land Authority to provide the updated land registration documents.
