The parties separated after immigrating to Canada from Iraq.
The court determined the date of separation to be April 7, 2016, when the respondent left the matrimonial home.
The court found the respondent was unjustly enriched after he dissipated $222,229.29 from a joint line of credit by sending it to his brother in Iraq, and ordered restitution.
The court maintained the existing custody and child support orders, calculated support arrears, and denied the respondent's request to travel with the children to Iraq due to the risk of abduction.
The respondent's claim for occupation rent was dismissed, and the applicant was awarded costs on a substantial indemnity scale.
