Key legal question
Whether the wife's budget could include expenses for an adult daughter already of age when proceedings were filed.
Extracted holding
No. Article 176(3) CC protects minor children; the mother could not claim a global maintenance contribution including the already adult daughter.
Extracted reasoning
The daughter was already major when the application was filed, so the special procedural standing for a parent does not extend to her. The cantonal court therefore had to exclude her costs and recalculate the wife’s budget.
