Jane Jetson filed a motion requesting temporary exclusive use of the family residence and $1,000 per month in spousal maintenance from George Jetson. Jane and George are going through a dissolution of marriage. Jane is a teacher raising their two children, one of whom has special needs, and claims she cannot be self-sufficient at this time. George earns $54,500 per year compared to Jane's $25,000 salary. Jane argues she is entitled to spousal support under Arizona law given the circumstances. She asks the court to grant her motion and order George to appear and show cause for denying the requests.
