Sandberg and Sandberg

In *Sandberg and Sandberg*, heard before Johnston J, the wife sought interim spousal maintenance from the husband. The dispute arose in the context of family law proceedings, with the wife's entitlement to maintenance being contingent on the sale of the former matrimonial home.

The central legal issue before the court was the quantum and duration of interim spousal maintenance to be awarded to the wife. Specifically, the court had to determine an appropriate weekly sum and the conditions under which that obligation would cease.

Johnston J ordered the husband to pay the wife $204 per week by way of interim spousal maintenance. This payment was to commence within seven days and continue until the wife received $150,000 from the proceeds of the sale of the former matrimonial home.
