The applicant brought a motion for temporary child and spousal support and an advance of $250,000 on her equalization payment.

The parties disputed the respondent's income, whether income should be imputed to the applicant, the entitlement of their 24-year-old child to support, and the advance on equalization.

The court determined the respondent's income at $147,629 for the interim motion, declining to impute unreported cash sales at this stage but adding back certain personal expenses.

The court declined to impute income to the applicant, noting her long absence from the workforce and the impact of the pandemic.

The court found the 24-year-old child remained a child of the marriage and ordered support.

Finally, the court ordered an advance of $200,000 on the equalization payment, finding sufficient certainty that the ultimate payment would exceed this amount.

The applicant mother brought a motion to temporarily suspend a provision of a consent order requiring her to travel to Las Vegas with her three-year-old son for the respondent father's parenting time.

The mother cited health risks and financial burdens associated with COVID-19 travel advisories and quarantine requirements.

The court granted the motion, finding that the pandemic and related travel advisories constituted a material change in circumstances and that non-essential international travel was not in the child's best interests at the time.
