Questione giuridica chiave
Whether imputing the wife an income of CHF 1,200 from a 50% workload starting June 2002 was arbitrary.
Decisione estratta
No. Given the prolonged separation and the children's ages, requiring a 50% workload from June 2002 was not manifestly unsustainable.
Motivazione estratta
The appellate court's wording could have been clearer, but its result was tenable; the wife had been separated since 1996 and could reasonably be expected to resume work and increase to 50% within two years.
