What is the position of the father in a personal injury action brought by the mother?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Rossi v. Rossi, 2020 ONSC 3822 (CanLII):
The father disputes that the mother’s request for a case conference is urgent and maintains that appropriate child and spousal support arrangements should be addressed “at some point” after full disclosure has been made and questioning occurred. He disputes that the mother should be entitled to spousal support in any event after a thirteen-year marriage, although the bar to an interim spousal support award is very low (see Knowles v. Lindstrom, 2015 ONSC 1408).
