The responding party was previously found in contempt for failing to provide financial disclosure.
She failed to purge her contempt, did not attend subsequent hearings citing medical issues, and failed to pay outstanding costs orders.
The moving party moved to strike her pleadings.
The court found a consistent pattern of non-compliance and struck the responding party's pleadings, granting the moving party leave to proceed with an undefended trial.
Costs of $15,000 on a full recovery basis were awarded to the moving party.
