Question juridique clé
Whether the father's appeal against the appellate child-support award was admissible despite the prohibition of reformatio in peius.
Solution extraite
The father could not challenge the amounts confirmed or increased only in part, because he had failed to appeal the first-instance judgment and could not seek a worse outcome for the child in his own appeal.
Motifs extraits
The first-instance award had become final for him. In an appeal against the child's appeal judgment, he could not obtain a lower contribution to the child's detriment; where the canton merely confirmed the lower court or the father himself sought the same amount as the appellate court for the youngest period, no admissible grievance remained.
