CaseChat Overview and Summary

In the matter of *Skipper and Skipper*, Gill J considered applications by both the husband and wife. The dispute concerned, among other things, spousal maintenance and financial disclosure obligations. The court was required to determine the interim arrangements for spousal maintenance and the extent of the husband's disclosure obligations regarding his business.

The court was asked to determine the appropriate interim orders for spousal maintenance and related financial support for the wife until a further hearing. It also considered the husband's obligations to provide financial information about his business to the wife. Furthermore, the court addressed applications made by both parties, which were otherwise dismissed, and imposed a restraint on the wife attending the husband's business premises.

Gill J ordered that the husband continue to pay the wife $359 per week by way of periodic spousal maintenance, along with specific expenses related to the former matrimonial home, pets, and the wife's continued use of a motor vehicle as a fringe benefit of employment. The husband was also ordered to provide monthly profit and loss statements and quarterly business activity statements for his business. The wife's applications were otherwise dismissed, as were the husband's applications, except as otherwise ordered. The wife was restrained from attending the business premises. The matter was relisted for an interim hearing on spousal maintenance.
