The applicant wife brought a motion for child and spousal support against the respondent husband.
The parties were married in 2002 and separated in mid-2022.
They have two children and agreed to shared parenting in a September 2023 consent.
The husband is employed in senior management with annual income of approximately $322,000 to $398,000, while the wife has not worked outside the home since 2013 and receives approximately $35,450 annually from investment income and child tax benefits.
The central disputes concerned the husband's actual income (particularly undisclosed cottage rental income), the proper parenting arrangement for support calculation purposes, and whether the wife should be required to use capital to supplement her needs.
The court imputed income to both parties and ordered child and spousal support, along with an expert assessment of the husband's business income.
