Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the husband’s duty to cover mortgage and house-related expenses had to be fixed as a cash amount rather than as payment in kind.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The court held that the complaint failed: the wife had originally requested this arrangement, and the in-kind maintenance solution was not contrary to federal law in the specific circumstances.
Extrahierte Begründung
The arrangement matched the wife's first-instance requests and was only provisional pending liquidation of the matrimonial property; once the house is sold or one spouse buys out the other, the maintenance situation can be adjusted. The solution was therefore not objectionable.
