The chambers judge set the husband’s income at $74,736 and rejected his claim that income should be imputed to the wife. The husband was thus ordered to pay $648 per month in child support.

The chambers judge rejected the husband’s submission that the wife did not need spousal support because she was living with a family member and ordered the appellant to pay spousal support of $1,150 per month, reviewable in three years. The husband was ordered to pay solicitor and client costs of $11,500 to the wife....
