Question juridique clé
Whether the wife was entitled to unentgeltliche Rechtspflege despite the husband's alleged duty to advance costs.
Solution extraite
The wife was not indigent because the husband could, in installments, advance the expected litigation costs.
Motifs extraits
For indigence under Art. 29(3) BV, means of supporting persons may be considered. A spouse's provisional duty to advance costs prevails over state legal aid if the other spouse can realistically pay in installments. Here the husband's surplus allowed repayment of the estimated costs within about thirteen monthly installments.
