Question juridique clé
Whether the Geneva court’s assessment of the spouses’ finances and maintenance calculation was arbitrary under Art. 9 Constitution
Solution extraite
Yes. The cantonal court applied inconsistent reasoning, ignored relevant evidence, misread one income item, and could not justify the reduction on the stated basis.
Motifs extraits
The court first relied on the family’s standard of living, then abruptly fixed maintenance from the husband’s known income without coherent explanation. It also failed to account for relevant account activity and miscalculated the husband’s income by treating a monthly return as annual.
