In a family law motion concerning support-related disclosure, the court granted extensive financial and corporate disclosure to permit the moving party's accountant to assess the responding party's income for child and spousal support purposes.
The court found the responding party's financial affairs and related corporate structures sufficiently complex to require expert review, and applied the Rule 24(12) interim disbursements jurisprudence to level the playing field.
An interim disbursement of $14,125 was ordered for the accounting report, but the request for interim legal fees was refused.
The responding party's request for disclosure from a non-party alleged common-law partner was adjourned because the non-party had not been served.
