Questão jurídica principal
Whether the wife’s October-November 2016 budget had to be calculated as a two-person household because she lived with her partner.
Decisão extraída
Yes. For October and November 2016 the basic amount had to be reduced to the half couple rate, which justified lowering maintenance to CHF 422 per month.
Fundamentação extraída
The social welfare budget treated the household as a two-person household and there were no indications that the welfare office had insufficiently clarified the relevant facts. The wife’s contrary argument did not undermine that budget-based assessment.
