This case involves a motion to change a separation agreement and consent order regarding child and spousal support.
The applicant, Anna Gillespie, sought increased retroactive spousal and child support, imputation of higher income to the respondent, Andrew Gillespie, and payment of retroactive extraordinary expenses.
The respondent sought to maintain the previous agreement, impute income to the applicant, and terminate spousal support.
The court declined to re-open the 2014 agreement or order disclosure prior to 2015, emphasizing the policy of respecting agreements.
The court found a material change in circumstances effective January 1, 2020, and imputed income to Anna Gillespie.
It ordered Andrew to pay child support arrears and Anna to reimburse Andrew for child and spousal support overpayments.
Spousal support was terminated effective March 31, 2022, as Anna had not made reasonable efforts towards self-sufficiency and her pre-separation efforts did not contribute to Andrew's post-separation business success.
