Questão jurídica principal
Whether the wife was entitled to compensation under Art. 165(2) ZGB for extraordinary contributions to family maintenance
Decisão extraída
Yes. Her paid income was used for the family over many years and exceeded her ordinary duty, justifying an appropriate compensation.
Fundamentação extraída
The court found the parties had a classic division of labor, but the wife also earned more than CHF 150,000 between 2001 and 2004, all used for family support. Under the economic circumstances, this constituted a significant extra contribution within Art. 165(2) ZGB.
