The applicant spouse brought a motion for interim spousal support retroactive to July 1, 2011, along with related relief including maintenance of health benefits, life insurance, vehicle possession, and financial disclosure from corporations controlled by the respondent.
The principal dispute concerned the parties’ respective incomes and whether income should be imputed to the applicant for purposes of calculating interim support.
The court declined to impute additional income to the applicant and determined the respondent’s income based on an averaged assessment of fluctuating business income.
Applying the Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines and principles governing interim support motions, the court ordered interim support based on income‑sharing and the goal of approximating the marital standard of living.
Retroactive interim spousal support and additional disclosure orders were granted.
