In ancillary matters following a 25-year marriage, the court divided $5.6 million in matrimonial assets equally between a homemaker wife and an unemployed husband whose beneficial interests in three properties held with family members had been determined in earlier proceedings. The court applied the TNL v TNK single-income approach, awarding the wife 50% of the matrimonial pool, and declined to award spousal maintenance given the wife's share of approximately $2.8 million would cover her expenses for about 23 years.
