    FCMC15314/2018

    The court applied the established rough‑calculation approach for maintenance pending suit: it assessed the children's reasonable monthly needs, excluded unsupported or unreasonable items, relied on respondent's prior net income as indicative of capacity, and concluded respondent could pay. The court denied the applicant's personal interim maintenance and awarded interim child maintenance of HK$9,000 per month (HK$3,000 per child) from 7 December 2019, until further order.
