Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the spousal maintenance contribution should remain at CHF 1,400 or be reduced.
Decisione estratta
The husband’s income had been calculated too high because family allowances were wrongly counted; after correction, the wife’s maintenance claim was set at CHF 1,320 per month.
Motivazione estratta
The appellate court had included family allowances in the husband’s income and counted them over 13 months. Excluding them reduced his disposable income and the excess to be shared under the minimum-vital method.
