In this high-conflict family law trial, the court determined issues of child custody, child support, spousal support, and equalization of net family property.
The court ordered that the three children reside primarily with the mother, rejecting the father's request for equal parenting time and the OCL's recommendation for individual overnights, citing the father's relentless pressure on the children and focus on reducing child support.
The father was ordered to pay table child support based on an income of $118,000.
The court dismissed the mother's claim that equalizing net family property would be unconscionable under s. 5(6) of the Family Law Act, but awarded her a $25,000 lump sum for spousal support to address economic disadvantage.
After calculating equalization and post-separation adjustments, the mother was ordered to pay a net amount of $5,064 to the father.
