Signed judgment

1. The Court has considered the interim application for spousal maintenance and the updates provided by both parties. Findings 2. The Plaintiff’s adjusted calculations are accepted. After removing the £40 contingency, her immediate monthly shortfall for essential living costs is £210. This figure is reasonably supported by the bank entries she has produced. 3. The Court notes the Defendant’s concerns about his recent move and his inability to provide a fully itemised budget today. He has confirmed, however, that his monthly storage expense of £180 has ceased. This change increases his declared monthly surplus from £110 to £290. 4. The Court is satisfied that the Defendant has the immediate financial capacity to meet the Plaintiff’s baseline needs without compromising his own essential expenditure. Order 5. The Defendant shall pay the Plaintiff interim spousal maintenance of £210 per calendar month, commencing on the first day of next month. 6. This is an interim order intended to provide stability and is made without prejudice to any final determination of financial remedies. 7. The matter shall be listed for formal judicial review in exactly three months. Both parties shall file and exchange fully updated, comprehensive statements of their financial circumstances, including the Defendant’s finalised post-move living costs.
