This trial decision addresses child support arrears, ownership and equalization of the matrimonial home, and net family property.
The court found the applicant's credibility to be severely lacking, particularly regarding allegations of fraud concerning a property agreement and mortgage documents, and his disclosure of pension assets.
The court imputed income to the applicant for child support purposes.
It was determined that a property agreement governed the matrimonial home, removing it from equalization calculations and stipulating that the respondent would receive the first $65,000 of net equity upon sale, with the balance divided equally.
The applicant's interest in the home was declared to crystallize only upon sale, without a right to force sale.
The applicant was ordered to pay child support arrears and an equalization payment.
