The respondent brought a motion for interim spousal support in a family law proceeding.
The court considered the parties’ income positions and competing Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines calculations.
The judge found the evidence supported the payor spouse’s annual employment income of approximately $56,000–$58,000 and imputed $7,500 annual income to the recipient spouse.
Considering the length of the relationship, the recipient’s modest financial needs, and her interim occupancy of the matrimonial home, the court ordered interim spousal support of $1,500 per month retroactive to May 25, 2014.
Arrears of $3,000 were to be paid from the proceeds of sale of the matrimonial home.
