Despite the existence of a prenuptial agreement, an Ontario Court ordered a husband to pay his wife temporary support of $5,ooo and $50,000 for interim fees and costs. The husband was also ordered to pay retroactively $8,819 per month for child support.
The husband and wife were married in 1999 and separated in 2007. The court attributed income to husband at $568,664. The husband’s payment of the household carrying costs was insufficient to meet his children’s needs and did not offset his child support obligation.
The court ordered the husband to pay his wife temporary spousal support, despite the existence of a prenuptial agreement, since there were triable issues regarding the validity of the agreement.
