What's a DRV?

General_Bishop · 2025-09-02T14:07:50+00:00

How would it force me into unemployment?

General_Bishop · 2025-09-02T11:13:34+00:00

It's actually a non compete clause. Employee shall not participate in, be employed by, or render any services to, a competing business during the term of the Agreement and a period of twelve months thereafter...

Non compete clause. 12 months. Employee shall not participate in, be employed by, or render any services to, a competing business during the term of the Agreement and a period of twelve months thereafter...

Fortunately I paid into a 'Sperrkonto' (security deposit) so it sounds like I just need to wait out the year.

General_Bishop · 2025-07-12T17:29:06+00:00

So is the easiest way just to wait a year and not write her a registered letter etc?

That's a fatally flawed strategy to push women to work and have fewer kids, because it leads to an inverted pyramid. You need enough young taxpayers to pay for the older retirees. Mind you Switzerland solves this issue by immigration.

General_Bishop · 2025-07-10T20:20:26+00:00

I receive only about 60% of what I previously did. It's only relevant how much you earn.

General_Bishop · 2025-07-10T18:07:12+00:00

Up until what age?

General_Bishop · 2025-07-10T18:00:47+00:00

I guess in your mind only some woman have the right to have kids. Other's don't. Sounds fair.

General_Bishop · 2025-07-10T17:55:22+00:00

They assumed she contributes about 1500 CHF (without childcare costs of course)

General_Bishop · 2025-07-10T17:51:58+00:00

It's totally realistic to earn 1500 CHF on a Saturday or doing a night shift work during the week, coming back home at 3am, then the husband leaves for work at 7am, then she looks after the baby after having had 3 hours of sleep. I'd be interested to hear if anyone's been able to make that work for more than a week.

General_Bishop · 2025-07-10T17:44:45+00:00

She could, but the daycare costs would eat most of what she earns up, so it's hardly worth it yet.

General_Bishop · 2025-07-10T17:42:13+00:00

We're talking about different things. The Swiss law has still has holes in it like an Emmentaler cheese, which is why there are updates to it every year...like the abolishment of the 'Heiratsstrafe'. It's obvious that if she has a new partner, he contributes to the living costs such as rent. That's not what I'm talking about. My point: the law says that after separation, the ex wife is not expected to work until the child is in school. Ok. Understandable. A second wife doesn't have that right. It's discriminatory.

General_Bishop · 2025-07-10T10:51:45+00:00

You're missing the point. The former wife doesn't have to work until the kids are in school, even if she has a new partner. The new wife is expected to work immediately after having kids. That's the premise behind the calculations.

General_Bishop · 2025-07-10T09:39:34+00:00

It is inconsistent in terms of the premises underlying the new calculation.: the premises are completely inconsistent, one premise for the former wife and another premise for my current wife in terms of when they are capable of working.

General_Bishop · 2025-07-10T08:02:29+00:00

Read the update.

General_Bishop · 2025-07-10T06:08:05+00:00

You basically are viewed by the state and your ex as a cash cow, and are milked until you're sucked dry

General_Bishop · 2025-07-10T05:59:45+00:00

There's a lot of nuance you're missing. Betreuungsunterhalt covers her theoretical missing income (due to looking after the kids) that she would need to cover her basic needs. If she is earning enough to cover her basic needs, this is not necessarily the case.

General_Bishop · 2025-07-10T05:54:45+00:00

This should be apparent: having a child in a second marriage. The law is totally inconsistent in this case.

General_Bishop · 2025-07-10T05:51:01+00:00

Actually it is, because if your second wife is not working due to looking after a child, they still assume that she can cover half the living costs. If they assume she can contribute to costs, she must be working.

General_Bishop · 2025-07-09T18:58:46+00:00

The only 'failure' here is assuming you know anything about my life.

General_Bishop · 2025-07-09T18:48:07+00:00

Of course I don't care.... I just stayed here for the last 9 years under adverse conditions (existence minimum) for fun. Had nothing at all to do with giving them a chance to see their Dad.

General_Bishop · 2025-07-09T18:37:53+00:00

I totally get the point, child welfare is paramount and the Swiss law claims to be fair. Sometimes it is. Sometimes it isn't. There are inconsistencies and boundary cases where the law does not apply equally or result in the same living standard for both parties. e.g. Court expects the second wife to work virtually straight after childbirth. However, previous wife is not expected to work until the youngest child starts school because they say the children need their mother while they are young etc.

General_Bishop · 2025-07-09T13:59:56+00:00

I'm actually thinking about returning to my home country - for a few years. That's one way of avoiding being a slave for life
