This is a supplementary judgment addressing outstanding issues from an appeal of family arbitration awards concerning property, spousal support, and costs.
The court recalculated the lump sum spousal support, reducing it from $227,185.00 to $170,816.00, based on revised asset bases due to a successful equalization payment appeal and correction of a calculation error regarding the retirement age/duration.
The arbitrator's costs award, which ordered the wife to pay the husband $67,500.00, was set aside, with the court finding divided success and an erroneous approach to assessing reasonableness based on settlement offers.
No costs were awarded for the arbitration or the appeal.
