Key legal question
Whether the cantonal court violated the appellant's constitutional rights by examining hypothetical income from his property and allegedly infringing disposition and pleading principles.
Extracted holding
The court could examine whether a hypothetical income could reasonably be imputed; no unconstitutional violation was shown.
Extracted reasoning
The wife had appealed and sought preservation of maintenance, so the court was seized of the issue. Whether hypothetical income may be imputed is a question of law, and the appellant had the opportunity to address it in the cantonal appeal proceedings.
