Key legal question
Whether the cantonal court could completely deny the father's visitation rights under Art. 274(2) CC.
Extracted holding
A complete denial was not justified on the findings made, because the child's welfare could not be shown to require a total exclusion from contact.
Extracted reasoning
Visitation may be refused only in exceptional cases; if the harm can be limited by other measures, a total denial is disproportionate. The child's age and resistance did not outweigh the importance of the father-child relationship.
