The applicant sought spousal support and equalization of net family property following the breakdown of a 13-year arranged marriage.
The respondent abandoned the applicant in Dubai, retained her Canadian identification, and ceased participating in the proceedings, resulting in his pleadings being struck.
The court imputed an annual income of $90,000 to the respondent based on his credit card spending and mortgage applications, as he failed to provide financial disclosure.
The court ordered the respondent to pay an equalization payment of $229,508, retroactive spousal support of $40,950, and ongoing indefinite spousal support of $1,700 per month, noting the applicant's economic disadvantage from immigrating to Canada and her inability to work in her profession.
