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.

The applicant father brought a motion seeking a shared parenting plan, joint decision-making responsibility, and imputed income for the respondent mother.

The respondent mother opposed and sought imputed income for the father, along with spousal and child support.

The court adjourned the financial issues but determined the parenting issues.

Finding that the mother was the historical primary caregiver and noting communication concerns from the father, the court denied a shared parenting plan.

The father was granted parenting time on alternating weekends plus one overnight per week, and the parties were granted joint decision-making responsibility for major decisions.
