Unification of the calculation method for maintenance payments
In recent decisions, the Federal Supreme Court has clarified various questions regarding the calculation of spousal and child maintenance. The Federal Supreme Court now lays down a binding calculation method from which deviation is only possible in justified exceptions. In addition, the Federal Supreme Court addresses the question of when spouses can reintegrate into the world of work after a separation or divorce and when a “life-shaping marriage” is to be assumed.
