The applicant and respondent separated after a 10-year marriage.
The applicant sought spousal and child support, claiming the respondent misrepresented his income to lower his support obligations in 2005.
The respondent and his new wife operated a group of printing and labelling companies, maintaining they were separate businesses.
The court found the respondent and his new wife created a fiction of separate businesses to shield income.
Relying on expert accounting evidence, the court pierced the corporate veil, combined the operations, and imputed income to the respondent based on a 50 percent ownership of the joint venture.
The court awarded the applicant ongoing compensatory and needs-based spousal support, child support, and retroactive support dating back to 2006, fixing arrears at $160,322.
