The applicant spouse brought a motion for interim child and spousal support following separation after a long-term marriage.
The respondent brought cross-motions seeking a preservation order over property, amendment of pleadings, and child support for an adult child.
The court declined to order table child support for adult children due to insufficient evidence regarding their status as children of the marriage but ordered table support for the minor child based on the respondent’s income.
Applying the Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines, the court found a prima facie entitlement to interim spousal support and ordered monthly payments within the guideline range.
The respondent’s request for a preservation order under the Family Law Act was dismissed due to lack of evidence of dissipation of assets or prima facie entitlement to equalization.
