The parties, married for 16 years with four children, sought interim orders regarding a section 30 assessment, a Voice of the Child Report, child support, spousal support, and section 7 expenses.

The Respondent sought a section 30 assessment, which the Applicant opposed, suggesting a Voice of the Child Report instead.

The court dismissed the Respondent's request for a section 30 assessment due to insufficient evidence, cost, and delay concerns, particularly given the children's ages and existing professional involvement.

A Voice of the Child Report was ordered for the three youngest children (ages 8, 12, 14) to ascertain their views and preferences, with costs shared equally.

Interim child support was set at $13,945.00 per month, and interim spousal support at $4,910.00 per month, with the Applicant paying 100% of specified section 7 expenses.

The court emphasized the importance of including section 7 expenses and associated tax implications in SSAG calculations.

The retroactive support claim was deferred to trial, and procedural directions were given to expedite the case to trial.
