Must I also share income earned between filing for divorce and the actual divorce?

In Switzerland, participation in acquired property applies in most cases. Under this regime, income earned during marriage is generally shared. However, upon divorce this regime is dissolved retroactively to the date of filing for divorce. Consequently, income earned during divorce proceedings is not shared.

In short: No. Income earned after filing for divorce does not have to be shared.
