In re Marriage of Shiralian
We are presented with an all too common situation in family law. A lucrative family business that supports a rather lavish lifestyle suddenly fails miserably when the parties separate and dissolve the marriage. The matter further is complicated when the spouse in control of the business, here the husband, (1) pays personal expenses of both parties out of the business, (2) funds a new life with a new partner through the business, and (3) obstructs access to accurate and current financial information. The resulting litigation is toxic. The parties are three years into the dissolution action and still they are arguing over temporary spousal support.
Appellant Bahram Shawn Shiralian (hereafter Shawn) contends the trial court abused its discretion when it fixed temporary spousal support for Julie Shiralian at $36,536 per month based upon Shawns[1]statements in a loan application that he earned $100,000 per month. Court will affirm the order.
