Key legal question
Whether the appellate court arbitrarily assessed the wife's maintenance needs by including household employee expenses and fixing spousal support at CHF 23,000 per month.
Extracted holding
No; the challenged assessment was not shown to be arbitrary, and the maintenance award to the wife was upheld.
Extracted reasoning
The marital standard of living was the proper benchmark, the husband did not substantiate that the wife enjoyed a higher lifestyle than during the marriage, and the household-employee cost was not convincingly disproved.
