Following a 28-year marriage, the parties sought resolution of financial issues including spousal support and equalization of net family property.
The applicant, who had been on disability income since 1990, sought compensatory support, an unequal division of property, and exclusive possession of the matrimonial home.
The court ordered needs-based spousal support, calculating the respondent's income based on his gross commission earnings less reasonable business expenses.
The court denied the applicant's claims for retroactive support prior to the application date, unequal division of property, and exclusive possession, ordering the sale of the jointly owned properties and an equalization payment to the applicant.
