Question juridique clé
Whether the appeal should alter the monthly post-divorce maintenance of CHF 1,000 until July 2024 and the related wage garnishment.
Solution extraite
The first-instance maintenance calculation was upheld; no hypothetical income was imputed to the wife, and the wage deduction order remained in force.
Motifs extraits
The court held that the two-stage method was permissible on the facts because no reliable marital spending pattern was established. The husband’s objections to the wife’s living costs, alleged earning capacity, and his own needs were insufficiently substantiated.
