The applicant sought an equalization of net family property, a divorce, and the dismissal of the respondent's claim for spousal support.
The respondent did not attend the trial, which proceeded on an uncontested basis.
The court determined the date of separation, dismissed the respondent's spousal support claim, and ordered the respondent to pay an equalization payment of $178,487.82.
The court enforced the payment by ordering the transfer of the respondent's share of the net proceeds from the sale of the matrimonial home and a lump sum transfer from her pension.
Prejudgment interest was also awarded due to the respondent's non-disclosure and delay.
