The court ordered a $288,746 equalization payment and imputed income for child support after finding the husband beneficially owned a foreign corporation.
This family law trial addressed the equalization of net family property and child support following the parties' separation.
Key issues included determining the beneficial ownership and valuation of assets, particularly a Saudi company (Joud Metals Est.) registered in the husband's sister's name, and the imputation of income to the husband for child support purposes.
The court found the husband to be the beneficial owner of the Saudi company's assets and imputed income to him due to intentional under-employment, leading to an equalization payment and child support arrears in favour of the wife.
The court granted sole custody of two children to their great-aunt but adjourned the father's access for further evidence regarding historical sexual abuse.
A status review application concerning two children, S. and N., resulted in a final order awarding sole custody to their paternal great-aunt, C.M.P., pursuant to s. 57.1 of the Child and Family Services Act.
The children's mother and father did not participate in the proceedings.
While other access issues were resolved, the father's access was adjourned for further evidence due to historical allegations of sexually inappropriate behaviour and concerns regarding one child's "sexualized behaviour."
