Key legal question
Whether the cantonal court violated the father's right to be heard by deciding without allowing further pleadings after the conciliation hearing.
Extracted holding
No. The father had access to the other parties' submissions and did not show any procedural rule or request for an additional time limit that was ignored.
Extracted reasoning
The parties had agreed at the hearing to file conclusions and evidence, after which the case would be decided; the father's notes were accepted even though filed late, and he could have sought more time to respond.
