Following a nine-day family trial, the court resolved equalization, post-separation accounting, child support, section 7 expenses, spousal support, a restraining order request, and a tort claim for malicious prosecution.
The court held that an Iranian Mahr was an enforceable domestic contract and had to be included as an account receivable for the wife and a debt for the husband in the net family property calculation, while declining to include alleged Iranian land as the husband's asset.
The court applied a shared-parenting set-off analysis under the Federal Child Support Guidelines, adjusted both parties' incomes including unreported rental income, awarded the husband lump sum spousal support, and denied occupation rent and the wife's restraining order request.
The court further found that the wife had maliciously initiated criminal proceedings without reasonable and probable cause and awarded the husband general and punitive damages.
