The respondent wife brought a motion seeking various interim relief, including financial disclosure, release of trust funds, partition and sale of the matrimonial home, and an increase in spousal support.
The court ordered the applicant husband to provide the requested financial disclosure and released $68,000 from trust to pay the wife's tax arrears.
The court dismissed the wife's requests to set aside the husband's exclusive possession and the restraining order against her.
However, the court ordered the pre-trial partition and sale of the jointly owned matrimonial home, finding the husband had not established a competing interest under the Family Law Act that would be defeated by the sale.
Interim spousal support was also increased due to a material change in the husband's income.
