Question juridique clé
Whether the Thurgau courts had jurisdiction over the post-divorce division of marital property.
Solution extraite
Yes. The court held that the property division remains accessory to the divorce and may be decided by the court that ruled on the divorce, even if reserved for later decision.
Motifs extraits
Arts. 43 and 49 of the Civil Status Act require the divorce court to decide the consequences of divorce together with the divorce itself; no federal rule grants foreign-domiciled spouses a forum at their domicile for property-division claims.
