What factors must the court consider when determining whether to modify an interim spousal support order?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from McMahon v. Stevens, 2012 BCSC 185 (CanLII):
The court has recognized that the application of these factors to interim spousal support claims must be modified because the order is only a temporary measure to ensure the claimant spouse has sufficient funds pending trial. Often the court will not have all of the facts necessary to conduct an in-depth analysis of the parties’ circumstances in a chambers application based on affidavit evidence. As a consequence, the court can only achieve “rough justice”: Robles v. Kuhn, 2009 BCSC 1163 and the authorities cited therein.
