Yes, if she filed for her maintenance during their marriage, and can prove that she was justified in leaving the marital home, then at the end of the maintenance proceedings , it is possible that the court will award a lump sum for the period from when she filed the plea until they were divorced, taking into account anything awarded to her temporarily.
