In an uncontested family law trial, the applicant sought equalization of net family property, post-separation adjustments, enforcement of a Maher under an Islamic marriage contract, and an order compelling the respondent to obtain a religious divorce.
The court found the marriage contract valid and enforceable, ordering an equalization payment that included the Maher value.
The court also awarded post-separation adjustments for mortgage, utility, and flight costs.
Finally, the court exercised its inherent jurisdiction to order the respondent to take all necessary steps to obtain an Islamic Iranian divorce.
