The applicant sought interim spousal support retroactive to the date of separation following a 41-year marriage.
The respondent, a self-employed truck driver, claimed his income had significantly declined due to health issues and the pandemic.
The court found the applicant had established a prima facie case for compensatory support.
Due to insufficient financial disclosure and analysis regarding the respondent's business deductions, the court imputed an interim annual income of approximately $79,000 to the respondent.
The court ordered interim spousal support of $1,750 per month, deferred the issue of retroactive support to trial, and ordered the respondent to maintain the applicant on his health benefits and life insurance.
