Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the child maintenance award could be modified because the father's income increased significantly after divorce
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. A notable and lasting change in circumstances under Art. 286(2) CC was established, so the higher child support fixed by the cantonal court remained in force.
Extrahierte Begründung
Modification under Art. 286(2) CC does not depend on whether the later increase in income was foreseeable. The cantonal court’s finding that the income rise was a new fact not already accounted for was binding, and a 18% increase could be regarded as notable.
