Robert argued Audrey did not establish her reasonable needs or inability to earn income, and that he lacked the ability to pay. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's finding that Audrey demonstrated a need for maintenance. However, the court reversed the amount awarded, concluding that the $8,000 per month exceeded Robert's capacity to pay while meeting his own reasonable needs, and remanded the case for reevaluation of the temporary maintenance award.","primaryTopic":"divorce","topicSlugs":["divorce","family-law","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=136553","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/audrey-jane-griffith-respondent-v-robert-daniel-griffith-appellant-106363","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"family","label":"Family Law","href":"/practice-areas/family","score":38,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: family-law","topic: family-law","topic: divorce","text: maintenance","text: dissolution"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/family"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"respondent"}]}
