Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the cantonal court acted arbitrarily by considering the husband’s tax burden but not the wife’s.
Decisione estratta
The complaint was inadmissible in part and otherwise unfounded; the wife had not sufficiently alleged and proved her own tax burden, so the court did not act arbitrarily.
Motivazione estratta
In maintenance proceedings, current taxes are considered only when the parties’ finances are favorable and the minimum-vital method with surplus distribution is used. Even under inquisitorial principles in family matters, a party must still allege and substantiate facts such as paying taxes and their amount.
