The applicant brought a motion for summary judgment seeking an order to impute income to the respondent for child support purposes.
The respondent had failed to comply with court-ordered financial disclosure obligations for over nineteen months despite multiple court orders and extensions.
The court found that the respondent's persistent non-compliance with disclosure orders, combined with evidence of an affluent lifestyle, unexplained income deposits, and contradictory statements about his employment, justified drawing an adverse inference and imputing income at a conservative level.
The court granted summary judgment and ordered the respondent to pay child support based on imputed income, retroactive to the date of service of the application.
