The court accepted the respondent’s and his mother’s credible primary evidence that the mother provided the purchase funds and mortgage repayments and was the beneficial owner; accordingly the sale proceeds were not the respondent’s asset for the purposes of ancillary relief. Given the short marriage (about 18 months), both parties’ similar earning capacities and the parties’ agreement on periodic maintenance, a lump sum order was unnecessary and periodic maintenance as agreed was appropriate.
