BALDWIN & BALDWIN

In *Baldwin & Baldwin*, the husband sought interim spousal maintenance from the wife. The application was heard by Judge Brown.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether the husband had established a sufficient need for interim spousal maintenance, and whether it was just and equitable to make such an order in the circumstances.

Judge Brown dismissed the husband's application, finding that he had not demonstrated a need for interim spousal maintenance. The court applied the principles governing interim spousal maintenance applications, which require a party to show a genuine need and that the order sought is just and equitable. The husband's application failed to meet this threshold.
