                                        - 4 -                                         
          1974 until their separation in 1994, Levy exercised complete                
          control over their household expenditures and the money that                
          petitioner spent.  Levy would handle and pay all of their                   
          family’s household bills, and he would give petitioner cash to              
          pay for food, clothing, and other miscellaneous items.                      
          Petitioner did not have a credit card until 1999.                           
               Levy continued to maintain substantial control over                    
          petitioner’s household expenditures from 1994 (when petitioner              
          and he separated and began maintaining separate households)                 
          through at least 2002 when they were divorced.  From 1994 through           
          2001, Levy would handle and pay all of petitioner’s major                   
          household bills, including the Key Biscayne condominium’s monthly           
          mortgage, condo fee, and utilities, as well as the lease payments           
          and insurance on the car that petitioner drove.  Petitioner and             
          Levy’s three children lived with petitioner prior to the time               
          they began college, during summers while they were in college,              
          and occasionally after their graduation from college.  To enable            
          petitioner to pay for her and their children’s other living                 
          expenses, such as food, clothing, recreation, etc., Levy provided           
          petitioner with a stipend on an as-needed basis.  He would either           
          give petitioner cash or draw her a check to deposit into the                
          checking account she maintained.                                            
               Levy paid for the college tuitions of their three children.            
          Nicole attended and graduated from Emory University; Michael
