Questão jurídica principal
Whether the wife is entitled to post-divorce maintenance under Art. 125 ZGB
Decisão extraída
Yes. The wife cannot reasonably be expected to earn her own income as of December 2000, so the maintenance claim must be re-examined and the case remitted.
Fundamentação extraída
For spouses long separated before divorce, the relevant standard of living is that of the separation period. Given the marriage structure, the wife’s age, health, limited labor-market prospects, and pension situation, part-time employment was not reasonable.
