On an interim motion for spousal support following a 26‑year marriage, the responding spouse sought support at the mid‑range of the Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines, retroactive payments, and life insurance security.
The court accepted entitlement to spousal support but addressed quantum by considering the payor’s income, mandatory pension deductions, and financial assistance provided to an adult child.
The court also imputed modest income to the recipient spouse due to a lack of efforts to seek employment following separation.
Applying the SSAG as a guide, the court fixed interim spousal support below the requested mid‑range amount and required life insurance security at a reduced level.
Retroactive support was declined on the interim motion and broader financial disclosure requests were limited as disproportionate.
