Questão jurídica principal
Whether the cantonal court arbitrarily fixed family maintenance at CHF 2,400 per month.
Decisão extraída
Yes. The maintenance award was unsustainable because it relied on obsolete charges and left the wife and minor children with an uncovered deficit despite the husband's available surplus.
Fundamentação extraída
The court held that in provisional divorce measures maintenance must reflect the spouses' actual capacity and the family's deficit, while preserving the debtor's minimum subsistence. The cantonal court wrongly relied on payments to adult daughters that had ceased and ignored that the wife and minor children still had an unmet monthly shortfall.
