Swiss Civil Code

¹ A spouse who looks after the house­hold, cares for the chil­dren or sup­ports the ca­reer or busi­ness of the oth­er spouse is en­titled to re­ceive from the lat­ter a reas­on­able al­low­ance for his or her own per­son­al use.

² When de­term­in­ing said al­low­ance, ac­count must be taken of the per­son­al re­sources of the re­ceiv­ing spouse and the need to provide con­scien­tiously for the fam­ily, ca­reer and busi­ness.
