The court considered cross-motions for interim spousal support, child support, interim disbursements, and a preservation order in the context of a high-conflict family law proceeding.
The Respondent (husband) sought spousal support and interim disbursements, while the Applicant (wife) sought to impute income to the Respondent, child support, and spousal support.
The court dismissed the Respondent’s motion, finding he failed to establish a prima facie case for spousal support and that his financial disclosure was not credible.
The court imputed income to the Respondent for child support purposes and granted the Applicant’s motion in part, awarding child support but not spousal support at this stage.
The court declined to make a preservation order or require leave for further motions but left open the possibility of such orders if non-compliance with costs orders continues.
