The court considered an uncontested family law application by Joanne Polack for equalization of net family property and spousal support against Peter Denis Larabie.
The respondent’s answer was struck for failure to comply with disclosure orders, and the trial proceeded in his absence.
The court reviewed the parties’ long-term relationship, financial history, and the respondent’s repeated non-compliance with disclosure.
The court awarded the applicant lump sum spousal support, an equalization payment, and costs, with payment to be made from funds held in trust and, if necessary, from the respondent’s pension or LIRA.
The court also ordered further financial disclosure from the respondent and set out consequences for non-compliance.
