Key legal question
Whether an early-retirement severance payment must be treated as income when modifying interim maintenance.
Extracted holding
The severance payment is to be treated as wage or pension replacement income and may be allocated over the months remaining until ordinary AHV retirement age.
Extracted reasoning
The payment was intended to compensate for the income loss caused by early retirement. It was therefore appropriate to divide the net amount over the remaining months until AHV age and add the resulting monthly amount to income.
