Kernrechtsfrage
Whether payments made by the debtor to a third party can extinguish the enforced maintenance claim under Art. 81 SchKG without the creditor's consent.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Only payment to the creditor, or payment to a third party made with the creditor's prior instruction or subsequent consent, extinguishes the claim; unilateral rent payments do not.
Extrahierte Begründung
A payment obligation ordered in favor of the creditor is discharged only by paying the creditor the awarded amount. Third-party payments count only if the creditor authorized them or later accepted crediting them against the claim. The debtor must prove such consent by documentary evidence, which was lacking here.
