The husband brought a motion to vary a temporary spousal support order, seeking a reduction due to the alleged end of his contract employment and his intention to pursue farming.
The wife opposed the motion, arguing that the husband failed to prove the unavailability of further contracts and that his credibility was questionable.
The court dismissed the husband's motion, finding that he did not meet the test for varying a temporary order, particularly regarding material change, hardship, urgency, and clean hands.
The court emphasized that complex factual and credibility issues, including the husband's income, health, and the appropriate length of the relationship for support calculations, were best reserved for a full trial, which the parties had delayed.
