Interim family-law ruling imputes $200,000 annual income to the respondent, declines to impute income to the claimant, orders private school tuition treated as s. 7 expenses, and grants interim spousal support.
Respondent knowingly underpaid child support from January 2021 to October 2024 and failed to make required disclosure; past voluntary overpayments cannot be offset against later underpayments in absence of agreement or notice; imputation of income to Petitioner was not warranted; accordingly court awarded retroactive child support and Section 7 contributions for Aug 1, 2021 to Oct 31, 2024, and a lump sum retroactive spousal support award for Jul 2016–Dec 31, 2019, but denied prospective spousal support beyond filing of the Petition.
