Questão jurídica principal
Whether the wife’s interim-measures request in the divorce proceedings was barred by res judicata after withdrawal of the earlier protective-measures request.
Decisão extraída
No. The earlier settlement and withdrawal did not result in ordered protective measures, so the divorce court was deciding on first-time interim measures, not modifying existing ones.
Fundamentação extraída
The June 2012 agreement, signed by both parties, withdrew the earlier request but did not regulate spousal maintenance or the property restriction. Therefore there was no prior adjudication on the disputed measures.
