Maintenance pending suit cannot be awarded for periods before the petition or after decree absolute; R1's MPS Summons was procedurally and substantively defective (no timely application before decree absolute, insufficient evidential proof of need, adult children not entitled after s18 declaration), and no very good or compelling reason existed to stay proceedings; therefore both the MPS and Stay Summons were dismissed and costs awarded to the Petitioner.
