Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the wife’s contribution to marital expenses may be directly attached in enforcement against the husband.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The wife’s contribution is a highly personal right and cannot be directly attached; it may only reduce the family’s minimum subsistence and thereby create a potentially attachable surplus from the husband’s earnings.
Extrahierte Begründung
Under Art. 192(2) and 246 CC, the wife’s contribution must be taken into account when determining the husband’s necessary family maintenance, but its personal character excludes direct attachment. Here the husband had no income of his own, so there was no surplus arising from his earnings that could be attached.
