Question juridique clé
Whether the husband still owed CHF 17,881.80 in liquidation of the matrimonial regime
Solution extraite
The canton’s reasoning that the wife was entitled to a share of the sale proceeds was upheld; the husband remained liable for CHF 17,881.80 plus interest.
Motifs extraits
The wife’s father had made a gratuitous contribution used to buy the house; after separation of property, this counted as her apportionable contribution. The husband’s objections about unequal treatment and tracing of funds were unfounded.
