Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the wife could be attributed a higher hypothetical income through a job or career change
Extrahierter Entscheid
No; a job or profession change was not reasonable in the circumstances, so the wife’s actual income could be relied on.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court held that the admissible legal question was only the reasonableness of requiring a change. Given the long childcare burden, the wife's age, lack of commercial training, and the long interval since her former qualified work, it was not unreasonable to deny a further career change.
