High Court allows an appeal to discharge a spousal maintenance order, originally established in 2005, due to significant changes in the financial circumstances of both parties, the court finding that the applicant's income now exceeds that of the respondent, and both parties have potential additional income from renting out property, and thus it was no longer appropriate for the respondent to pay maintenance to the applicant.
