Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the two-stage method may be used to calculate maintenance despite very good financial means.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. Very good financial circumstances do not automatically require the one-stage concrete method; the two-stage method is suitable where the spouses spent all income during the relationship and did not save.
Extrahierte Begründung
The decisive point is the standard lived during cohabitation. The law prescribes no fixed calculation method. The two-stage method is available in all financial situations, including good ones, if no savings were accumulated or if the prior saving quota is consumed by separation-related additional costs. Since the parties had uncontrovertedly not saved during the marriage, the two-stage method remained appropriate.
