Facts of the Case
Background
The parties married on 9 July 1988 and had two children. The plaintiff instituted divorce proceedings in December 2008, claiming custody of the minor child, maintenance for both children, and various property orders. The defendant admitted the marriage had irretrievably broken down but disputed maintenance liability for the major child Elena and sought to interdict the plaintiff from cohabiting with a boyfriend in the matrimonial home.
