On the other hand

Hello,

Can we say 'contrastively' instead of 'on the other hand' or 'then again'? If not, when do we normally use it? He was rich. Contrastively, his sister was poor.

Kindly,

'Contrastively' is a very formal adverb which I doubt I have ever actually heard or read. Use 'in contrast': In contrast, his sister was poor.
