Following cross-motions regarding parenting time and reunification therapy where the respondent father was largely successful, the parties submitted written arguments on costs.

The father sought $7,541.15 on a substantial indemnity basis, while the applicant mother argued for no costs or, alternatively, that she pay $3,500.

The court awarded the father $5,500 in partial indemnity costs, reflecting his substantial but not total success on the motions and his reasonable offer to settle.

The wife brought a motion for interim spousal support and exclusive possession of the matrimonial home.

The parties had a marriage contract that the wife sought to set aside, but relied upon for interim support purposes.

Due to conflicting evidence regarding the husband's complex income, the court imputed his income at $400,000 and ordered interim spousal support of $7,500 per month.

The court also granted the wife interim exclusive possession of the matrimonial home after balancing the factors under section 24(3) of the Family Law Act, noting the children's residence, the husband's greater financial resources, and the wife's title to the property.
