The respondent mother sought leave to appeal an interim spousal support order fixing support at $1,500 per month.
She argued the motion judge improperly treated the Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines ceiling of $350,000 as a hard cap despite the payor’s higher income.
The court held that applying the SSAG ceiling in an interim support context was within the motion judge’s discretion and did not demonstrate a conflict in legal principles with other decisions.
The applicant also failed to show a good reason to doubt the correctness of the order or that the proposed appeal raised issues of public importance.
Leave to appeal was therefore refused.
