Question juridique clé
Whether the divorced wife was entitled to post-divorce maintenance at all
Solution extraite
Yes. The marriage had a concrete impact on the wife’s situation because of the child, the marriage duration, and her pre-existing invalidity; solidarity justified maintenance.
Motifs extraits
The Court held that a marriage can be life-shaping not only by duration or children, but also where the spouses knowingly accepted the wife’s serious health impairment and built a protected reliance on mutual support.
