Keith and his wife Kelly separated last year and earlier this week, Kelly was denied a bid for $150,000 in monthly spousal support by the British Columbia Supreme Court.
The wife of National Hockey League star Duncan Keith has lost an interim bid in B.C. Supreme Court to get her husband to pay $150,000 per month in spousal support. Kelly Keith had sought the huge interim payout, along with $69,270 per month in child support, claiming she had suffered economic hardship and disadvantages arising from the couple’s marriage breakdown in June 2014. Duncan argued that Kelly should receive $15,000 in spousal support and $10,000 for their son.
Keith had been paying $10,000 per month in child support in addition to another $10,000 monthly for the mortgage and expenses related to the couple’s home in Canada where Kelly lives with the couple’s two-year-old son Colton.
British Columbia Supreme Court Justice George MacIntosh ruled that Kelly’s $150,000 per month request was “disproportionately high” and ordered Keith to pay Kelly $45,000 per month in spousal support and $15,000 per month in child support.
