Question juridique clé
Whether the post-divorce maintenance contribution must end when the wife reaches retirement age.
Solution extraite
No. The contribution remained necessary because the wife would not then be able to cover her reasonable needs from her own resources, including retirement benefits.
Motifs extraits
Under Art. 125 CC, maintenance is owed as long as self-support cannot reasonably be expected. The wife's future AVS/LPP benefits would merely replace professional income, and her pension coverage was weak; therefore the contribution should not be time-limited.
