The mother sought sole decision-making responsibility and primary residence of the parties' five minor children, child support, spousal support, and equalization of net family property.
The father sought joint decision-making and equal parenting time, or alternatively, reunification therapy.
The court found a long history of severe family violence perpetrated by the father against the mother and children, justifying the children's refusal to see him.
The court granted the mother sole decision-making and primary residence, with parenting time at the children's discretion.
The court imputed an annual income of $74,122 to the father, finding him intentionally unemployed, and ordered him to pay child support, arrears, and an equalization payment of $34,467.
The father's share of the proceeds from the sale of family properties was ordered to be held in trust as security for future child support.
