Resumo Omnilex

The court explains the standard method for indexing maintenance contributions. The amounts are tied to the National Consumer Price Index, here with a March 2010 level of 103.8 points on a December 2005 base. If the index changes by 5% or more compared with the original level, the contributions are adjusted correspondingly from the start of the following month, unless the debtor proves that his income has not kept pace with inflation.

Sumário Omnilex

Indexation of maintenance contributions; 5% clause and burden of proof. Maintenance contributions linked to the National Consumer Price Index are adjusted once the index deviates by 5% or more from the original base level, with effect from the beginning of the following month. The debtor may avoid the adjustment only by proving that his income has not followed the rise in the cost of living.

Aus den Erwägungen:

Die Indexierung der Unterhaltsbeiträge erfolgt praxisgemäss nach der 5-Punkteklausel. Danach ist festzuhalten, dass sämtliche Unterhaltsbeiträge auf dem Landesindex der Konsumentenpreise des Bundesamtes für Statistik per März 2010 von 103,8 Punkten (Basis Dezember 2005) beruhen. Verändert sich der Index gegenüber dem ursprünglichen Indexstand um 5 % oder mehr, werden die Unterhaltsbeiträge in entsprechendem Umfang auf den Beginn des Folgemonats angepasst, es sei denn, der Unterhaltspflichtige beweise, dass sein Einkommen nicht mit der Teuerung Schritt gehalten hat.
