               During the years at issue herein, petitioner’s only                      
          significant source of income was her salary from her employment               
          as a radiologist and as a faculty member at the Medical College               
          of Georgia.  Each month, petitioner’s salary was deposited into a             
          separate checking account that she maintained.                                
               During the years at issue herein, Alimam received income                 
          from his medical practice and from rental real estate, which real             
          estate he separately owned.                                                   
               As discussed below, during most of the years of their                    
          marriage, including the years at issue herein, petitioner                     
          herself, from her income, paid most of the family expenses.                   
          Alimam paid only a limited portion of the family expenses, and                
          Alimam spent an exorbitant amount of his money on personal                    
          investments and other, nonfamily matters.                                     
               Using her income, petitioner paid her own personal expenses,             
          one-half of the mortgage on the family residence, and most of the             
          expenses of the three children, including the costs of the                    
          children’s clothing and school supplies, private school tuition,1             
          and various extracurricular activities such as football, soccer,              
          gymnastics, piano, and ballet.  Using her income, petitioner also             
          purchased the groceries and other household supplies.  Petitioner             




               1  During the years at issue, private school tuition for the             
          three children totaled $1,200 a month.
