Legislator summary

In a case concerning provisional maintenance during divorce proceedings under Art. 137 ZGB, the court held that when determining support for the duration of the divorce, criteria for post-nuptial maintenance (Art. 125 ZGB) must be considered, especially in very short marriages where the marital status was not life-shaping. The court reasoned that because the marriage was brief, the parties were young and healthy, and the claimant could cover her own living expenses from her earned income, the focus should revert to pre-marital financial circumstances, resulting in the denial of provisional support as the claimant was not in need.
