‘The court finds that there was insufficient evidence presented as to the Wife’s inability to pay and maintain the status quo.’

Bates claims he received the alleged threat to slice off his genitals after returning to the couple’s new Fort Lauderdale mansion from spending Thanksgiving 2021 with his parents at their home in nearby Lighthouse Point.
