The applicant wife sought interim spousal support on an urgent basis due to economic hardship.
The respondent husband contested entitlement and quantum.
The court found the applicant was entitled to both compensatory and non-compensatory support, noting she relocated for the marriage and became financially dependent.
Applying exceptions to the Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines (SSAGs) due to compelling financial circumstances and the short duration of the marriage, the court ordered the respondent to pay $2,200 per month in interim spousal support for 12 months, effective January 1, 2021.
