Mother takes issue with the court's $5,000 contempt penalty for having Father's items destroyed. This penalty, however, constitutes an equitable offset, given that Mother denied Father the opportunity to collect his equitable distribution of household goods and furnishings. This offset included all "remaining household goods, keepsakes, and furnishings," which would include the bottle of 1976 Glenrothes Single Malt Scotch.
