On cross-motions for interim family law relief following separation, the court addressed parenting time, support, a custody and access assessment, and the disposition of the matrimonial home.
Applying the interim custody principle that the status quo should generally be maintained absent compelling evidence, the court found the father’s increased involvement with the children since separation supported an equal parenting arrangement and ordered a week‑on/week‑off schedule.
Interim child support was calculated on a high-income payor basis using a weighted average income of approximately $670,554 for the father and $15,000 for the mother, with set‑off child support and spousal support determined using the Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines.
The court also ordered the sale of the matrimonial home under the Partition Act to allow the mother access to her equity.
A custody and access assessment was directed.
