The court dismissed the appeal regarding the calculation of monthly income for a judicial aid applicant. The applicant argued for a specific assessment method, but the court held that under a community of acquisitions regime, both spouses' earnings must be aggregated. Consequently, the request for a different calculation standard was rejected based on established marital property rules.
