                                         -4-                                          
          answer any of respondent’s interrogatories.  He produced no                 
          documents.                                                                  
               On March 26, 2007, because of petitioner’s refusal to answer           
          respondent’s interrogatories and to produce the requested                   
          documents, we granted a motion in limine precluding petitioner              
          from introducing any evidence that was not furnished to                     
          respondent on or before March 10, 2007.  After a conference call            
          with the parties, we vacated the motion, allowing petitioner the            
          opportunity to present his documentary evidence.  On the morning            
          of trial, March 30, 2007, petitioner presented documents to                 
          respondent’s counsel which substantiated the payment of education           
          expenses for his children.  Respondent made concessions relating            
          to some of those expenses.  Petitioner should have presented this           
          evidence during the 6 months he had to prepare for trial, as                
          repeatedly ordered by the Court.                                            
               At trial, we admonished petitioner for failing to obey                 
          numerous orders and for wasting the Court’s time.  At the close             
          of trial, we ordered the parties to submit opening briefs by May            
          29, 2007.  Petitioner did not file a brief.  We showed petitioner           
          extraordinary leniency by allowing him to present evidence                  
          despite his repeated failure to obey our orders.  In response to            
          our leniency, petitioner once again ignored our Rules and our               
          order.
