Following a family law trial involving shared custody, the court determined support entitlement, retroactive and ongoing child support, equalization, and post-separation credits relating to the matrimonial home.
The court rejected the respondent's credibility on key disputed facts, imputed income to her at $40,000, and fixed the applicant's support income at approximately $150,000.
The court found only a weak compensatory claim but sufficient non-compensatory need to justify lump sum spousal support, and applied the Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines to award support at the low range.
The court also rejected an unequal division claim under s. 5(6) of the Family Law Act, holding that the impugned conduct did not meet the high unconscionability threshold.
