Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the cantonal court arbitrarily denied legal aid by finding the appeal had no chance of success.
Decisione estratta
Yes. The appeal had at least a realistic chance of partial success; the cantonal court applied too strict a standard and prematurely assessed the merits.
Motivazione estratta
A case lacks prospects only when success is notably less likely than failure. The lower court also impermissibly anticipated the merits and relied on indigence-assessment criteria to evaluate the maintenance-budget arguments.
