The applicant wife and respondent husband separated after a long, toxic marriage.
The wife, self-represented, claimed she was a victim of human trafficking, that her daughter was immaculately conceived, and that she was defrauded of her interest in the matrimonial home by a vast conspiracy involving her former lawyers, the bank, and the husband.
The court rejected all of the wife's claims as preposterous and found her to be an abusive and controlling predator who had recklessly depleted the family's assets through failed mining ventures.
The court determined the separation date was in 1996, making the wife's equalization claim statute-barred.
Furthermore, the court held that even if the claim was not barred, an equal division of the remaining $53,000 from the sale of the home would be unconscionable under s. 5(6) of the Family Law Act.
The entire remaining proceeds were awarded to the husband, and a divorce was granted.
