    Applying the broad‑brush approach the court balanced the parties' incomes and reasonable child needs, concluded the respondent was in financial difficulty and not the beneficiary of indefinite third‑party support, but could pay a sum higher than HKD 5,500; fixing interim child maintenance at 20% of respondent's monthly salary (HKD 6,266) together with applicant's available funds provides a fair maintenance budget until final hearing.
