Kernrechtsfrage
Whether taxes may be included when calculating the spouses' minimum subsistence in provisional maintenance measures under modest financial means.
Extrahierter Entscheid
When the parties' means are modest, the calculation must start from the enforcement-law minimum subsistence; taxes are not to be included unless the means are sufficient to go beyond that minimum.
Extrahierte Begründung
The cantonal court used charges above the enforcement-law minimum and treated the spouses as able to cover monthly expenses before taxes, which was inconsistent with the applicable jurisprudence. The Federal Supreme Court held that the relevant starting point was the LP minimum subsistence and that tax charges could not be added where resources were limited.
