Questão jurídica principal
Whether the spousal maintenance contribution should remain at CHF 1,400 or be reduced.
Decisão extraída
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.
Fundamentação extraída
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.
