Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the cantonal court arbitrarily reduced the spouse maintenance contribution despite the husband’s inheritance and asset situation.
Decisione estratta
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.
Motivazione estratta
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.
