British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Ross v. Ross, 2013 BCSC 1716 (CanLII):
The wife argues that spousal support based upon an interim order can be reviewed and revised retroactively at trial: Tedham v. Tedham, 2003 BCCA 600, at paras. 55-72 (dealing with retroactive child support), and Tedham v. Tedham 2005 BCCA 502, at para. 83, “The same argument could have been made with respect to spousal support.” She argues that the same principle applies when dealing with spousal support at trial based upon a separation agreement which sets interim support.
