SCHENCK & SCHENCK

This matter came before Benjamin J concerning applications by the wife for orders relating to the former matrimonial home, the appointment of single experts, and interim orders in respect of children. The proceedings involved a dispute between the husband and wife regarding property division and financial arrangements.

The court was required to determine several legal issues, including the appropriate interim orders concerning children, the division of proceeds from the sale of the former matrimonial home, the husband's disclosure obligations regarding artwork and corporate interests, and the appointment of joint experts to value artwork and corporate entities. Additionally, the court considered applications for child maintenance and other interlocutory matters.

Benjamin J made a series of orders by consent between the parties. These orders addressed the husband's disclosure of artwork sales and inventory, the disbursement of proceeds from the sale of the matrimonial home, and restrictions on the wife's access to trust funds for real estate acquisition. The court also made orders regarding the husband's continued payment of lease, insurance, and registration costs for the wife's vehicle, as well as health insurance premiums. Furthermore, the parties were directed to agree on and instruct joint forensic accountants and valuers to assess the value of the husband's corporate interests and artwork. The application for child maintenance was dismissed, and other interlocutory applications were adjourned or dismissed, with costs reserved.
