Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the cantonal court arbitrarily applied the duty to investigate and take evidence regarding pension sharing
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. For the disputed facts, federal law did not require an official investigation; under Bern procedural law the parties retained the duty to present evidence, and the court could rely on the record it had.
Extrahierte Begründung
The decisive facts were not entry of a pension event or the amount of savings, but the spouses' respective contributions within the marriage. The court was not required to conduct a broader ex officio inquiry beyond the limited areas mandated by federal law.
