Questão jurídica principal
Whether the wife's cohabitation with a new partner justified reducing or ending spousal maintenance.
Decisão extraída
No. The husband failed to prove a settled concubinage or a material improvement in the wife's finances.
Fundamentação extraída
The relationship had lasted only eight months at suit filing, and no concrete evidence showed cost savings or other economic effects. The wife’s income remained low and she still depended on maintenance.
