Facts
The appellant, [X.] , and the respondent, [Z.] , married in 1982 and have three adult children. They have been separated since December 1997. The District Court of Aarau divorced the couple in 2006 and obliged the respondent to pay a post-marital maintenance contribution of CHF 2,000.-- per month until the end of February 2018.
