Questione giuridica chiave
Whether custody of the three daughters should be awarded to the father or the mother.
Decisione estratta
Custody was properly awarded to the mother because the child’s welfare favored continuity with the parent who had been the main caregiver and could provide personal care.
Motivazione estratta
The court found no arbitrariness in departing from the social report. It held that in separation proceedings the prior role distribution is generally decisive, the children’s welfare prevails, both parents were fit, and the mother’s personal care capacity outweighed the father’s plan to work part-time with third-party care.
