The applicant husband brought a motion for interim spousal support and an advance on equalization to fund his litigation expenses.
The parties separated after a 30-year marriage during which the husband ran a successful art gallery owned entirely by the respondent wife.
The court determined the parties' respective incomes for support purposes, preferring the evidence of the husband's expert valuator over the wife's business consultant.
The court ordered the respondent wife to pay interim spousal support of $5,068 per month and an advance of $100,000 on the husband's expected equalization payment to cover his litigation costs.
