In a Decision – Magudapathi v. Calyanakoti, (an Unpublished Opinion) >> the Court Held:
The Appellate Division reversed the Family Part decision that had the Wife prove that she did not receive the agreed upon distribution of bank accounts and instead required Husband to demonstrate that he had distributed the bank accounts as agreed. The Appellate Division set forth that the trial judge failed to address Wife’s very specific argument in its findings of fact. As Husband had sole access to the two accounts in his name, Wife was not contending that he was hiding those monies, rather that he had not distributed her share pursuant to the Divorce Agreement. Husband's dismissive approach of the issue during oral argument and in his responding certifications was unacceptable. The Appellate Division determined that it was an abuse of discretion to deny Wife’s request for the equitable distribution of the bank accounts controlled solely by Husband.
