Key legal question
Whether the cantonal court arbitrarily took into account the wife’s Zurich rent as a charge in the maintenance calculation.
Extracted holding
No arbitrariness was shown; given the high marital standard of living, the higher rent could be considered, at least to some extent.
Extracted reasoning
Each spouse may participate equally in the marital standard of living under Art. 176 and 163 CC by analogy; the former family lifestyle was affluent, and the husband did not show that the wife’s rent could not be considered merely because it exceeded her former Lausanne rent.
