Kernrechtsfrage
Whether matrimonial property issues in legal separation may be referred to separate proceedings under § 231 ZPO.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. In legal separation, separate proceedings are more readily permissible than in divorce because the interdependence between maintenance and matrimonial property is weaker.
Extrahierte Begründung
Maintenance in separation follows Art. 163 ff. ZGB and can be adjusted if circumstances change; unlike divorce, an increase is also possible. The matrimonial property position was not liquid, but the disputed amount would not decisively affect maintenance.
