Key legal question
Whether the custody award to the father was arbitrary or unconstitutional
Extracted holding
The custody allocation to the father was not arbitrary; the cantonal court properly relied on the child's stability and the father's greater availability.
Extracted reasoning
The parents had similar educational abilities and comparable aptitude to foster contact with the other parent. The child had always lived in Valais with the father, who had suspended employment to care for her, whereas the mother worked 70%; a move and crèche placement would disrupt stability.
