The applicant sought temporary spousal support, while the respondent sought temporary child support and an order to amend her pleadings.

The parties agreed on child support and the amendment, reserving costs for the amendment to the trial judge.

The court found the applicant had made realistic and continuous efforts to find employment and demonstrated a prima facie case for spousal support, establishing need in the context of the parties' accustomed standard of living during their 11-year cohabitation.

The respondent's claims regarding the applicant's lack of involvement in household and childcare duties were found to lack credibility.

Temporary spousal support was awarded to the applicant, and child support was ordered by consent.

The applicant sought temporary orders for child and spousal support, sale of a cottage property, and interim disbursements.

The respondent failed to provide full financial disclosure despite previous agreements and court orders.

The court imputed income to the respondent based on adverse inferences drawn from his non-disclosure and the applicant's expert's preliminary report.

The court granted temporary orders for child and spousal support, ordered the sale of the cottage, and awarded interim disbursements to the applicant to level the playing field.
