I understand that the Applicant must pay maintenance (alimony) to the Respondent on the basis of the sums contained in the specified Articles of the Swiss Civil Law Code but I do not understand how these are "je zur Hälfte ..... von Fr. 6'000 . -- "

Note from asker:
| Dear Michael, Thanks very much for this answer. I di did in fact use your wording but I awarded the points to one of the two Europe-based translators whose answers came through first. They helped me understand what the "je" referred to - the two sections of the legislation - at a time when my brain was overloaded by the pressure of work. :-) Stepphen |
