The applicant brought a motion for interim spousal support, seeking $1,700 per month.
The respondent, who was paying $400 per month, argued that the current amount should be maintained.
The parties had been married for 26 years and were in significant debt, having made a consumer proposal.
The court considered the parties' incomes, debts, and the Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines.
The court ordered the respondent to pay interim spousal support of $950 per month, finding it reasonable and just pending trial.
