The applicant brought a motion for retroactive and ongoing child support and spousal support following separation after a lengthy marriage with two children.
The court reviewed principles of spousal support entitlement, including compensatory and non‑compensatory bases, and considered whether income should be imputed to the applicant.
The court found the applicant was not intentionally underemployed and declined to impute additional income to her.
Using the respondent’s income of $58,023.54, the court ordered retroactive child support for the period following separation, ongoing guideline child support, and retroactive and ongoing spousal support calculated at the mid‑range of the Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines.
Payment of retroactive support was ordered from the respondent’s share of the proceeds of sale of the matrimonial home.
