During 1989, Ms. Cohen frequently traveled to Montreal to
visit petitioner. During 1990, Ms. Cohen's ex-husband, Bruce
Cohen, sued her for sole custody of their child, Gabrielle,
alleging that Ms. Cohen's frequent trips out of the United States
resulted in her abandonment of Gabrielle. The case was later
resolved, and Ms. Cohen retained joint custody of Gabrielle.
Afterwards, Ms. Cohen traveled to Montreal less frequently, and
petitioner increased the number of trips he made to Fort
Lauderdale, Florida.
During 1990, petitioner spent 160 days in Florida, 50 days
in South Carolina, and 35 days traveling through other parts of
the United States attending trade shows and spent 120 days in
Montreal.
On March 26, 1990, Powertex purchased mobile telephone
service for petitioner's use at Ms. Cohen's apartment.
Petitioner used a desk and a fax machine at Ms. Cohen's apartment
to conduct business while he was in Florida. During May of 1990,
petitioner transported a boat owned by him and his brother,
Stephen D. Podd, to Florida and docked it at the marina servicing
Ms. Cohen's apartment. At that time, petitioner obtained an
insurance policy covering the boat and listed Ms. Cohen's
apartment as his address. While he was in Florida, petitioner
drove a car owned by Powertex. On August 22, 1990, petitioner
obtained a Florida driver's license which identified his address
as that of Ms. Cohen's apartment.
