Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the wife’s maintenance should be limited in time or reduced after the husband’s retirement.
Decisione estratta
The appellate court had to reassess the wife’s maintenance from 2003 onward because the lower court failed to consider the husband’s retirement and the effect of pension splitting on his future income.
Motivazione estratta
Art. 125 CC requires consideration of retirement prospects and pension expectations under para. 2 ch. 8; the cantonal court omitted this factor when fixing maintenance beyond 31 October 2003.
