Insufficient proof of debtor’s ability to pay maintenance

Résumé Omnilex

The case concerns whether the maintenance debtor could realistically contribute to the support of his former wife’s children. The court held that the record did not permit an inference that his income was higher than stated. A monthly income of FF 4,800 was insufficient to sustain a new family of four and still meet obligations toward the two children from the former marriage. The mere fact that rent consumed three quarters of his resources did not establish hidden financial capacity.

Regeste Omnilex

Maintenance obligations; proof of ability to pay; insufficiency of speculative inferences about resources. It is not enough to infer a debtor’s actual means from the burden of rent alone. Where the record contains no concrete indication of additional disposable income, and the stated income is manifestly inadequate to support a new household while also meeting obligations toward children from a former relationship, the existence of capacity to pay, even partially, cannot be affirmed (consid. unspecified).

Résumé

"Il ne suffit pas de soutenir que le loyer mensuel correspond aux trois quarts des ressources de son ex-mari pour parvenir à la conclusion que lesdites ressources sont supérieures à celles alléguées (...). Aucun élément du dossier ne permet de penser que le débirentier dispose de moyens qui lui permettraient de faire face à ses obligations, ne fût-ce que partiellement. Au contraire, un revenu de FF 4'800.- est à l'évidence insuffisant pour entretenir un nouveau ménage de quatre personnes, avec deux enfants en bas âge, et assumer l'entretien des deux enfants qu'il a eus avec son ex-épouse".

Question juridique clé

Whether the debtor had sufficient means to meet his maintenance obligations, at least partially.

Solution extraite

A mere assertion that monthly rent amounts to three quarters of the former husband’s resources is not enough to conclude that his actual resources are higher than alleged; the file did not show that he had means to satisfy his obligations, even partially.

Motifs extraits

The court found that a monthly income of FF 4,800 was plainly insufficient to support a new household of four, including two small children, and to maintain the two children from the former marriage. No element in the record suggested additional disposable means.
