The respondent, Ritika Sondhi, brought a motion seeking retroactive and ongoing child and spousal support, requesting income imputation to the applicant, Amit Sondhi, for various periods.
Amit disputed income imputation, asserting his sole income was employment-based, and sought income imputation to Ritika for alleged underemployment.
The court imputed income to Amit, finding his declared income insufficient to cover expenses and noting inconsistencies in his financial disclosure.
The court awarded Ritika both ongoing and retroactive child and spousal support, declining to impute income to her, recognizing her role as primary caregiver and the impact of the pandemic on her employment efforts.
