The applicant brought a motion to increase temporary spousal support after the respondent's obligation to pay child support was terminated.
The respondent argued that the applicant's new relationship and cohabitation eliminated her need for support.
The court rejected this argument, finding a prima facie case for continued spousal support based on the lengthy traditional marriage and the applicant's ongoing need.
The court ordered the respondent to pay increased temporary spousal support of $1,503 per month.
