The applicant brought a motion seeking temporary exclusive possession of the matrimonial home and temporary spousal support following separation.
The court implemented a temporary “week about nesting arrangement” to maximize the children’s contact with each parent pending development of a parenting plan.
Applying s. 15.2 of the Divorce Act, the court found the applicant had at least a non‑compensatory entitlement to spousal support, leaving any compensatory claim to trial due to conflicting evidence regarding caregiving roles during the marriage.
The court declined to impute income to the applicant, finding she had made reasonable efforts to obtain employment.
Temporary spousal support was ordered together with interim financial obligations and life insurance security.
