Key legal question
Whether a hypothetical annual alimony of CHF 18,000 may be treated as determining income for PC purposes
Extracted holding
Not on the present state of the record: the authority could not use the former temporary maintenance amount without first clarifying the spouse's current financial situation and the prospects of a maintenance claim.
Extracted reasoning
A former one-year maintenance order from 1993 did not justify a present abstract or flat-rate hypothetical maintenance income; the issue whether the respondent had renounced enforceable rights under family law required further factual inquiry.
