Key legal question
Whether an income should be imputed to the mother for maintenance purposes
Extracted holding
No; the cantonal court's refusal to impute income was not arbitrary given the ages of the children and the caregiving situation after separation.
Extracted reasoning
The mother cared for two very young children; after separation the father could no longer assist, relations were conflictual, and the childcare arrangements made a 70% job unrealistic. The father's reliance on the mother's former employment and unemployment status did not show manifestly unsustainable reasoning.
