Question juridique clé
Whether the cantonal court acted arbitrarily in setting spousal/child maintenance by referring to divorce-maintenance criteria rather than the marital standard of living
Solution extraite
No arbitrariness was shown. Where reconciliation is no longer seriously foreseeable, divorce-maintenance criteria may be taken into account, and the wife had not demonstrated that denying her a personal pension was arbitrary.
Motifs extraits
The court held that the jurisprudence on post-divorce maintenance is not limited to employability questions but may guide the overall assessment of maintenance when the marriage is effectively over. The wife’s appeal was largely appellatory and did not show that the canton’s view was unsustainable.
