The case of “Bak v. Bak” involves a divorce proceeding in the Probate and Family Court of Massachusetts, where the court had to address several issues, including child custody, division of marital property, and alimony. The court determined that it had jurisdiction to make a custody decision under Massachusetts law, as the children were residents of the state at the time the proceedings began. The court awarded custody of two of the three children to Sonja Bak, the mother, while the eldest child chose to stay with the father, Anthony Bak. The court also divided the marital property, awarding the wife the couple’s joint stock account but not granting her any interest in certain real estate, which was kept outside the marital partnership by mutual agreement. Additionally, the court addressed issues of fraudulent conveyance, as it found that Anthony Bak had transferred property to his mother to shield it from claims by Sonja Bak. The court’s decision on alimony was remanded for further consideration due to changes in Anthony Bak’s income. Overall, the case highlights the complexities involved in divorce proceedings, particularly when international jurisdiction and property division are at play.
