The respondent in a family law proceeding brought an unopposed motion seeking various relief due to the applicant's repeated failure to comply with court orders, including orders to pay temporary spousal support and costs, and to provide financial disclosure.
The court granted an order characterizing a previous costs award as spousal support for enforcement purposes and ordered the release of trust funds to the respondent.
The court also granted a preservation order and a certificate of pending litigation on a rental property to protect the respondent's claims for equalization and support.
Finally, applying the framework for striking pleadings, the court ordered that the applicant's application would be struck if she failed to satisfy the outstanding payment and disclosure orders by a specified date.
