Key legal question
When must the two-year separation period under revised Art. 114 ZGB be fulfilled in pending divorce proceedings?
Extracted holding
For proceedings already pending on 1 June 2004, the two-year separation must be satisfied at the transitional date, not necessarily when the divorce action was filed.
Extracted reasoning
Art. 7c SchlT ZGB applies the revised divorce law immediately to pending cantonal proceedings. The legislative history confirms that the shortened separation period is measured as of the entry into force of the revision, consistent with prior case law on the earlier four-year rule.
