Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the CHF 3,000 advance on costs in the divorce-modification proceedings was unlawful or excessive
Extrahierter Entscheid
The advance was properly fixed at CHF 3,000 in accordance with the cantonal tariff and corresponds to the presumed judicial fee for the whole proceeding.
Extrahierte Begründung
Under Art. 98 CPC the claimant may be required to advance the presumed court costs; Art. 96 CPC refers to cantonal tariffs, and the Vaud tariff sets the decision fee in matrimonial matters at CHF 3,000. The amount is not determined by the party's financial situation.
