The court confirmed that a wife employed by her husband's business is generally entitled to unemployment benefits when terminated due to marital discord, even if the husband is the employer, ruling that claiming such benefits in this situation does not constitute an evasion of the statutory prohibition against unemployment compensation for individuals with employer-like positions (Art. 31 Abs. 3 lit. c AVIG), provided the termination is final and she loses that influential status. Consequently, the court reasoned that these unemployment benefits must be accounted for when calculating her personal maintenance obligation under family law.
