Questão jurídica principal
Whether retroactively missed unemployment benefits had to be imputed to the wife when calculating provisional maintenance
Decisão extraída
Yes. In this closed past period, the wife had to bear the consequences of not having validly claimed unemployment benefits, and failing to impute them was arbitrary.
Fundamentação extraída
The court held that the case did not concern a future earning-capacity assessment but a completed period. The wife had voluntarily failed to claim benefits and had already weathered the period economically, so reclaiming maintenance for that period was abusive.
