    Case number
    FCMC6082/2014

    On the established factual pattern where the Husband habitually deposited his salary to the Wife who managed family living expenses, those deposits were more likely than not for the Wife's maintenance; fairness and reasonableness required continuation of that established pattern absent cogent evidence of a material change in Husband's ability to pay; accordingly Husband must pay HK$60,000 per month (HK$70,000 less HK$10,000 retained by Husband for personal spending) from 15 December 2015 and AE card reinstatement cannot be ordered under maintenance pending suit provisions.
