XUH v XUI

In contentious ancillary matters following a divorce where the mother repeatedly failed to comply with court directions and absented herself from hearings, the court determined custody, division of the matrimonial property, and maintenance for the children and wife. The key issues included the father's capacity to parent given the mother's allegations of family violence, and the wife's claim for $2.58 million in lump sum maintenance. The court awarded the father care and control of the children with supervised access to the mother, divided the matrimonial property, and ordered $1,200 monthly spousal maintenance for 12 months.
