Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the cantonal court correctly denied any post-divorce maintenance to the wife under Art. 125 CC
Decisione estratta
The denial was incorrect for the future phase after the two older children finish their training, because the husband will then have disposable income allowing an equitable contribution.
Motivazione estratta
Maintenance depends on equitable balancing under Art. 125 CC. While no contribution is due while the husband has no surplus, once his burden for the two adult children ends, equity requires that both spouses have equivalent disposable resources, given the marriage's long duration and the wife's reduced earning capacity caused by the marriage.
