Question juridique clé
Whether the wife was entitled to provisional spousal maintenance during the divorce proceedings and in what amount.
Solution extraite
The wife could rely on the marital standard of living established during the marriage, and the husband had not shown that he could no longer maintain that level; the monthly maintenance of CHF 17,000 was upheld.
Motifs extraits
For provisional measures, the court must start from the spouses' agreed division of tasks and resources and maintain the prior standard of living if finances allow. The husband's financial situation remained unclear because he failed to document the alleged decline in income and asset structure. The wife had historically received about CHF 20,000 per month, so CHF 17,000 was not excessive.
