    On the balance of probabilities the Husband has been receiving and is likely to continue receiving at least HK$5,000 per month in third‑party assistance (principally from mother/elder sister), his own income averages about HK$20,000/month, the Daughter’s international school fees are a reasonable need, and in applying s.7 MPPO and LKW v DD steps the fair outcome is to order HK$13,000/month for the Daughter and nominal maintenance to the Wife while denying substantive periodical maintenance to the Wife beyond that.
