The applicant mother sought temporary child support and spousal support for the parties' young child retroactive to May 2014.
The respondent father initially disputed spousal support entitlement but conceded it at the hearing, with the dispute narrowing to quantum.
The parties reached agreement on child support amounts based on the father's prior year income.
The court found the mother entitled to spousal support on both compensatory and needs bases, applying the Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines.
The court ordered child support of $804 per month from March 2014 to February 2015 based on 2013 income, and $1,186 per month from March 2015 based on 2014 income.
For spousal support, the court ordered $1,705 per month from August to December 2014 and $3,571 per month from January 2015 onward.
The court declined to award retroactive spousal support prior to August 2014, finding insufficient immediate need and concerns about the father's ability to pay without undue hardship.
