Question juridique clé
Whether the spousal maintenance order should be modified due to changed circumstances and a new hypothetical income assessment.
Solution extraite
The maintenance order was modified, but only to reduce the monthly payment to CHF 2,450 as of 2017-03-01.
Motifs extraits
The husband remained 100% capable of working, but his earlier higher income could no longer be fully imputed because the former employment involved more than 100% work. However, he had abandoned that job in order to avoid supporting obligations, so the former income still had to be imputed hypothetically. The wife's housing/work-related expenses were adjusted downward by CHF 88, resulting in a slightly lower support amount.
