The moving party husband brought a motion for temporary spousal support ten years after the parties separated from a 30-year marriage.
The husband had been intentionally underemployed for the past decade, earning a modest income from a bicycle repair business, while the responding party wife earned approximately $100,000 annually and had assumed the family debt.
The court found a genuine issue for trial regarding entitlement but ordered temporary spousal support of $1,000 per month.
This amount was set below the Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines range to reflect the husband's failure to make reasonable efforts toward self-sufficiency.
