Key legal question
Whether the finality of the divorce point alone justified modifying or lifting provisional maintenance measures
Extracted holding
No. The mere fact that the divorce point had become final did not amount to a substantial and lasting change in the basis for the provisional-measures order.
Extracted reasoning
Pending the overall divorce proceedings, provisional measures remain in force and may be amended only if the decision basis or factual circumstances have materially and permanently changed. The dissolution of the marriage does not, by itself, mean that the original maintenance order was based on an incorrect assessment or on changed circumstances.
