The applicant and respondent separated after a 30-year traditional marriage.
The respondent had retired and was receiving a pension.
The applicant sought a lump sum equalization of the pension.
Shortly after learning of this claim, the respondent transferred his unencumbered property to his brother for no consideration.
The court found the respondent and his family members lied under oath and that the transfer was a fraudulent conveyance intended to defeat the applicant's claim.
The court ordered the pension to be divided by a lump sum equalization payment of $356,950.18.
The court declined to order ongoing spousal support to avoid double dipping, as the respondent's only income was the pension being equalized.
