The applicant brought a motion for temporary spousal support.
The respondent opposed, arguing the parties were not spouses under the Family Law Act as they did not cohabit in a conjugal relationship for three years.
The court found a prima facie case that the parties cohabited in a conjugal relationship for ten years, despite maintaining separate residences at times.
The court ordered the respondent to pay temporary spousal support of $1,400 per month based on the Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines.
