JUSTICE COOK delivered the opinion of the court:

In October 2003, petitioner, Jerry D. Rogers, andrespondent, Sharon M. Rogers, were granted a legal separationafter 36 years of marriage. Jerry appeals the trial court'sorder that he pay maintenance in the amount of $900 per month,which is in addition to the award to Sharon of one-half ofJerry's pension, or $651 per month. We affirm.

In November 2002, Jerry, then 59 years old, filed fordivorce. Sharon, then 55 years old, filed a counterpetition forlegal separation (750 ILCS 5/402 (West 2002)). See 1 H. Gitlin,Gitlin on Divorce
