The Federal Court has ruled a widow still has to pay maintenance to her late husband’s ex-wife.
In fact, judges have upped the amount due to inflation.
The clearly wealthy man divorced his first wife 30 years ago – and paid his ex CHF 12,000 a month for 29 years.
Following his death, the widow stopped the payments.
But the court ruled the agreement remains in place as the widow is the sole inheritor – which means she inherits the obligations. Judges also say the CHF 12,000 a month should be now CHF 14,000 a month due to inflation.
