Matrimonial proceedings – Ancillary relief – Matrimonial Property Agreement – Child maintenance – Asset distribution – Jiangmen property – Evidence burden – Clean break – Property sold for child's needs – The court considered the effect of a Matrimonial Property Agreement on ancillary relief, holding it does not override court discretion but must be given weight. The court determined the Jiangmen property should be sold to meet the child's maintenance needs rather than split 50/50. The wife's claims regarding hidden assets were dismissed due to insufficient evidence. Orders included sale of property, suspension of interim maintenance, and a clean break order.
Legal issues: Effect of Matrimonial Property Agreement · Distribution of Jiangmen Property · Burden of Proof on Alleged Hidden Assets
Outcome: Jiangmen property to be sold with net proceeds paid to wife for child's maintenance; interim maintenance suspended; parties settled; costs reserved.
