Kernrechtsfrage
Whether maintenance had to be calculated by the single-step concrete method rather than the two-step method
Extrahierter Entscheid
Given the parties' favorable financial situation, maintenance had to be determined under the single-step concrete method; mixing methods was impermissible.
Extrahierte Begründung
The last standard of living during cohabitation is the starting point in protection-of-marital-union proceedings, but the two-step method is appropriate only where the available means clearly do not allow preservation of that standard or where a prior savings rate is absorbed by separation costs. Here, the financial circumstances justified a concrete assessment.
