Since plaintiff failed to provide the requested financial documentation, including his 1994 income tax return or an estimate thereof and a complete net worth statement, the IAS Court properly drew an adverse inference with respect to his financial condition ( 22 NYCRR 202.16 [k] [5]), and he cannot now complain that the award exceeds his ability to pay. Plaintiff's self-imposed tax liabilities were properly given little weight ( see, Matter of Knights v Knights, 71 NY2d 865). Plaintiff's remedy for any perceived inequities in the award is a speedy trial ( Sayer v Sayer, 130 AD2d 407). We have considered plaintiff's remaining arguments and find them to be without merit.
