On competing family law motions, the applicant sought extensive financial disclosure, interim spousal support, and a timetable for questioning, while the respondent sought to reduce child support.
The court found repeated and serious non-compliance with prior disclosure orders, including failure to provide sworn documentary disclosure and information about numerous bank accounts and business interests.
Applying the Divorce Act spousal support factors and objectives, the court held the applicant had established interim entitlement on both compensatory and non-compensatory bases.
The court ordered broad disclosure, set a timetable for questioning, awarded interim without prejudice spousal support of $700 per month, and dismissed the cross-motion to vary child support.
