In 1980, one of petitioner's daughters developed a serious
ear condition that resulted in the daughter's losing her hearing,
undergoing several ear surgeries, and becoming severely learning
disabled.
In 1982, petitioner's other daughter was diagnosed as having
scoliosis which required treatment with full body braces and
constant therapy. Petitioner’s primary activity during the years
in issue was the care of her two daughters.
Prior to 1981, petitioner frequently received a number of
expensive items of jewelry from Martin and from other members of
her family. During the years in issue, petitioner received no
new items of jewelry.
In 1984, Martin purchased for himself a 1984 Corvette, and

vehicles, and Martin purchased no cars for petitioner during the
years in issue.

belong to any country clubs. Their children generally attended
public schools.
During 1976 through 1989, including the years in issue,
