Key legal question
Whether the marital protection measures could be modified under Art. 179 CC due to changed financial circumstances
Extracted holding
Yes. The father’s income had materially and durably improved, so modification was justified.
Extracted reasoning
The court held that the relevant comparison is with the situation at the date of the modification request. It may reassess all current elements when recalculating maintenance, and the father failed to show arbitrariness in relying on the available accounts and later developments.
