In the case of Mikhail v. Mikhail, the Ontario Superior Court resolved several key financial issues following the separation of Boshra and Eman Mikhail, who were married in 2008 and have three children. The couple separated in 2019, and after a prolonged legal battle, the court granted the mother full relief, addressing child support, spousal support, section 7 expenses, equalization of net family property, and damages for intimate partner violence.
The court ordered the father, a successful pharmacist, to pay child support based on imputed income due to his lack of financial disclosure. Spousal support was set at $3,280 per month, with retroactive payments totaling $104,766. Additionally, the father was ordered to contribute to section 7 expenses for their children’s medical and educational needs.
Significantly, the court awarded the mother $100,000 in compensatory and aggravated damages for the severe physical and emotional abuse she endured during the marriage. The father’s repeated failure to comply with court orders and his abusive conduct were strongly condemned by the court.
This case underscores the importance of financial transparency in family law and highlights the court’s commitment to addressing both financial and emotional damages in cases involving domestic violence.
