Questão jurídica principal
Whether the constitutional complaint against the custody allocation and related child measures was admissible and well-founded
Decisão extraída
The complaint was admissible but unfounded; the cantonal court did not act arbitrarily in awarding custody of all children to the mother and in refusing further expert evidence.
Fundamentação extraída
The Federal Court held that the cantonal court had broad discretion in custody matters under protective measures. It could depart from the KJPD report for cogent reasons, especially where its recommendations rested on inaccurate assumptions or on premises irrelevant to the current separation context. The court also sufficiently considered the children's wishes, prior caregiving arrangements, the need to keep siblings together, and the instability caused by the family's situation.
