Court orders temporary spousal support pending fuller financial disclosure.
The applicant brought a motion for interim spousal support following the parties’ separation after a 34‑year marriage.
The parties were equal shareholders in a corporation through which the respondent earned income, but the corporation’s financial situation and the respondent’s current income were unclear due to incomplete financial disclosure and outstanding tax liabilities.
The applicant sought support based on an imputed income of $150,000 using the Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines.
The court held that there was insufficient evidence to determine an appropriate interim support order pending trial and declined to impute the proposed income.
Instead, the court ordered a temporary “interim, interim” spousal support payment for four months pending production of corporate financial statements and further questioning.
