Question juridique clé
Whether the wife's fluctuating income was arbitrarily assessed and whether the husband's children's higher pensions could be offset against the wife's maintenance.
Solution extraite
The cantonal court could rely on several months of commission income to derive a more reliable average, and it was correct not to offset child support against spousal maintenance.
Motifs extraits
With fluctuating earnings, averaging over a longer period is appropriate. Maintenance for spouses and children serves different legal bases and cannot be compensated against each other; the children's higher pensions were already reflected in the husband's reduced available income.
