Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the parties' post-judgment divorce settlement could be judicially approved by the Federal Supreme Court and replace the cantonal maintenance clause.
Decisione estratta
The settlement was approved; the cantonal maintenance provision was set aside and rewritten in line with the agreement.
Motivazione estratta
The Court held that divorce settlements may be submitted directly for approval when their content is clear, complete, lawful, and appropriate; in property matters the review is limited, and the agreement here was to the wife's advantage on the maintenance issue and accepted by the husband.
