Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the needs of a spouse supported by social assistance must be considered when setting interim spousal maintenance
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. Social assistance does not eliminate need; the maintenance duty of the spouse takes precedence and social aid remains subsidiary.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court stated that maintenance must be determined even if one or both spouses receive social assistance. If the supported spouse's actual needs were ignored, the maintenance calculation would be distorted. Social assistance is subsidiary and is adjusted once maintenance is paid.
