petitioner had made any inquiries concerning the financial
decisions that Mr. Korchak made for their family, Mr. Korchak
would not have withheld any information from her with respect to
such decisions.
Throughout their marriage, petitioner was generally unaware
of bank accounts or brokerage or other investment accounts in Mr.
Korchak’s name alone or in the names of Mr. Korchak and peti-
tioner. During 1982, petitioner was not aware of any brokerage
accounts that Mr. Korchak may have had at that time. At least
during 1982, petitioner was aware of two joint checking accounts
in the names of Mr. Korchak and herself. At least during 1982,
petitioner’s salary from NYU of approximately $15,000 (peti-
tioner’s NYU salary) was deposited into one of those two joint
checking accounts (joint checking account into which petitioner’s
NYU salary was deposited), and petitioner used that joint check-
ing account to pay certain personal and household expenses. The
joint checking account into which petitioner’s NYU salary was
deposited was also used to pay any mortgage loan on the family
residence in which she and Mr. Korchak were living.
At all relevant times, Mr. Korchak was responsible for
opening and reviewing all the family’s mail, including bills, tax
notices, documents pertaining to investments and other financial
matters, and bank statements, including any joint checking
account statements, and petitioner relied upon him to do so.
