Spousal maintenance
Spousal maintenance must have been claimed
The issue and the court’s approach
The court corrected the temporal effects given to maintenance not claimed in the application. This measure requires a party’s request, and effects could not be preserved for an award that should not have been made on the court’s own initiative.
