What is the test for an award of interim support in the absence of a marriage contract that waives support?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Chaitas v. Christopoulos, 2004 CanLII 66352 (ON SC):
It should be noted that the existence of a marriage contract that waives support is only one of the circumstances to be considered.1 In awarding interim support, the court must consider a variety of circumstances and goals to be met. There is nothing in the legislation that precludes an award of interim support in the face of a waiver. Miglin v. Miglin
