Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the wife’s maintenance claim and the start of the transitional alimony were correctly set
Extrahierter Entscheid
The cantonal court correctly awarded a two-year transitional maintenance payment of CHF 1,650 per month from legal force, followed by CHF 400 per month until ordinary AHV age.
Extrahierte Begründung
The marriage was not life-shaping; the wife had to seek self-support but needed a transition period. The court’s assessment of her earning capacity and the amount/duration of maintenance fell within the discretion allowed by Art. 125 and 126 ZGB.
