Is income imputed to a party for interim spousal support?

This is an interim application where the court can typically provide only rough justice until contested facts can be more fully canvassed at trial: I.F. v. R.J.R., 2015 BCSC 793 at paras. 13-15 and 123. When pronouncing an interim order, the court must be careful not to prejudice either party’s position at trial. Nevertheless, this approach does not necessarily preclude a finding that income ought to be imputed to a party for the purposes of interim spousal support: see, for example, Morrison v. Morrison, 2009 BCSC 256.
