    Citation
    LSLR v. LHW
    Court
    Family Court
    Case number
    FCMC10819/2002

    On the balance of probabilities the judge accepted the husband\'s income had fallen (from around HK$60,000 to just under HK$40,000 a month) but found he remained able to contribute; the wife has income and assets and must maximise earning capacity; fairness required a reduction in wife\'s maintenance but not to zero, resulting in maintenance fixed at HK$3,500 per month backdated to 1 August 2012, with child maintenance of HK$3,000 to continue.
