The applicant wife sought interim spousal support, and the respondent husband moved to set aside an ex parte preservation order.
The parties were married in Iran, and the husband sponsored the wife to Canada.
The wife alleged the husband attempted to trap her in Iran to avoid paying a $540,000 Meher agreement and equalization.
The court found a serious issue to be tried regarding the Meher and equalization, and that the wife would suffer irreparable harm if the husband divested his assets.
The preservation order was continued with a minor variation.
The court also imputed an income of $200,000 to the husband based on his lifestyle and family financial support, ordering him to pay interim spousal support yielding $3,250 net monthly.
