On a motion and cross-motion in a long-term marriage, the applicant sought interim spousal support, arrears, disclosure orders, and preservation of property.
The respondent disputed the amount of interim support and sought to sever the divorce from corollary issues.
Applying the Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines and considering the respondent’s true available income including grossed-up corporate earnings, the court fixed interim spousal support at $25,187 per month.
Retroactive support was ordered from January 1, 2012, and disclosure obligations were imposed on the respondent.
The court also granted an order preventing depletion of property and severed the divorce from the remaining issues.
