Key legal question
Whether the wife had to be imputed a 100% income instead of 70% for maintenance calculation
Extracted holding
No. The court upheld the 70% income capacity and found a full-time imputation unrealistic on the current facts.
Extracted reasoning
The wife had recently changed jobs because her former 70% post was being reduced to 40%. She had promptly secured a 60% job, and her actual income remained below the hypothetical income already used. The court found no basis to require immediate full-time work.
