The applicant brought a motion for interim spousal support following the breakdown of a 24-year traditional marriage.
The respondent argued that the applicant's income should be imputed to full-time minimum wage and that support should be reduced due to alleged misconduct.
The court declined to impute income, finding no evidentiary basis to establish intentional unemployment given the applicant's age, lack of work history, and health conditions.
The court also rejected the misconduct argument.
Interim spousal support was ordered at the mid-range of the Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines, amounting to $4,236 per month.
Claims for retroactive support and health benefits were dismissed without prejudice to be determined at trial.
