Key legal question
Whether the wife was entitled to post-divorce maintenance under Article 125 CC
Extracted holding
Yes. The marriage had a decisive economic impact on the wife, and she could not reasonably be expected to increase her earnings beyond her actual income.
Extracted reasoning
The Federal Court upheld the cantonal findings that the wife’s 60% workload could not be increased in her current job, that her age and the labor market made a job change unreasonable, and that her actual income did not cover her needs.
