Key legal question
Whether the cantonal court's assessment of the evidence on the wife's income was arbitrary.
Extracted holding
The complaint was insufficiently reasoned and, in any event, the wife's 1986 income was not decisive for the requested modification; the relevant point was her current financial situation.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 153(2) aCC, the key criterion is the creditor spouse's present need or reduced hardship when modification is sought, subject to the debtor's ability to pay. The current situation, not the situation at the time of divorce, was determinative.
