The applicant brought a motion for interim spousal support.
The primary issue was the respondent's early retirement and whether income should be imputed to him.
The court found the respondent intentionally unemployed, as his retirement was voluntary and not due to health or incapacity, and he had not sought new employment.
Income was imputed to the respondent based on an average of his pre-retirement earnings, including commissions and capital gains.
The court ordered the respondent to pay interim spousal support of $8,000 per month and maintained the applicant as an irrevocable beneficiary of a life insurance policy.
