DORRACOTT & DORRACOTT

In the matter of *Dorrincott & Dorrincott*, the wife sought interim spousal maintenance of $27,000 per month and sole use and occupation of a holiday home. The husband had, by consent orders, assumed responsibility for significant financial liabilities, including mortgages.

The court was required to determine whether the wife's application for interim spousal maintenance was justified given the existing financial arrangements and the amount sought. Additionally, the court had to consider the wife's application for exclusive use of the holiday home and the husband's competing interest in accessing it. The court also addressed applications for child support and the attendance of the parties and their children at therapy.

Justice Wilson dismissed the wife's application for interim spousal maintenance, finding the amount sought to be excessive in light of the husband's existing financial commitments. The wife's application for sole use and occupation of the holiday home was also dismissed. However, the court granted the husband permission to access and use the holiday home on the first weekend of each month until the trial or further order. The court ordered that the parties and their children attend non-reportable family therapy at least once a month, commencing within fourteen days. The wife's applications for child support were also dismissed.
