Questão jurídica principal
Whether the provisional spousal maintenance order had to be modified because of the husband’s reduced income due to incapacity for work
Decisão extraída
Yes. The husband’s income reduction was sufficiently proven and, because it had lasted for more than four months with no foreseeable recovery, it was materially and durably relevant. No maintenance was owed from May 2019 onward.
Fundamentação extraída
The court accepted the medical certificate and wage statements as proof of incapacity and reduced earnings. It treated the continued incapacity as a genuine new fact. A drop of about one third in income was substantial and, given its uncertain duration, justified a modification of maintenance.
