Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the lower court could ex officio abolish the wife's spousal maintenance despite no request by the husband
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. Spousal maintenance is subject to the disposition principle; without a claim requesting reduction or suppression, the court could not modify it ex officio.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court distinguished object-of-proceedings maxims from fact-finding maxims. ATF 128 III 411 allows shared factual findings to affect child and spouse maintenance, but does not relax the disposition principle for the spouse's claim.
