The parties were involved in a combined family law and civil trial.
The wife claimed the date of separation was January 2009, while the husband claimed October 2012.
The court found the date of separation was January 2009 and dismissed the husband's claims for equalization and spousal support due to his failure to provide financial disclosure and lack of evidence.
In the civil action, the court found the husband committed civil fraud by making false representations to the wife regarding funds from a diamond mining venture, resulting in a loss of over $1.2 million.
The court awarded damages for fraud against the husband and found his mother was unjustly enriched by receiving funds belonging to the wife.
