The applicant sought an equalization payment, spousal support, and other relief in an undefended family law trial after the respondent's pleadings were struck for contempt due to his failure to comply with disclosure orders.
The court imputed an income of $500,000 to the respondent based on his exotic car business and ordered an equalization payment of $1,226,522.00.
The court also awarded compensatory spousal support of $5,000 per month ongoing and $308,000 in retroactive support.
The court ordered the removal of a certificate of pending litigation on the applicant's property and placed a preservation order on a property beneficially owned by the respondent but legally held by his mother.
Costs were awarded to the applicant on a substantial indemnity basis due to the respondent's bad faith and procedural delays.
