Question juridique clé
Whether the cantonal court arbitrarily reduced the spouse maintenance contribution despite the husband’s inheritance and asset situation.
Solution extraite
The reduction was not arbitrary; the wife failed to show that the husband could reasonably be required to liquidate the recently acquired hotel or use the inherited capital substance for maintenance.
Motifs extraits
In absence of demonstrated feasibility and reasonableness of realizing more income, the court could rely on the husband’s actual income and on the fact that inherited assets need not in principle be consumed. The complaint was largely appellatory.
