The applicant brought a motion for disclosure of financial records and an order for $60,000 in interim disbursements to fund her family law litigation.
The parties consented to the disclosure order.
On the issue of interim disbursements, the court found that the respondent's income was likely much higher than reported, based on a valuator's report, and that the applicant lacked the resources to fund the complex litigation involving the respondent's family businesses.
Applying the test for interim disbursements, the court ordered the respondent to pay $60,000 to level the playing field.
