Key legal question
Whether the cantonal appeal filed by the wife was inadmissible for failure to pay the advance on costs despite the provisio ad litem request.
Extracted holding
The appeal was admissible because the wife’s request for a provisio ad litem suspended the deadline for the advance on costs.
Extracted reasoning
A spouse who must seek a provisio ad litem stands in the same position as a party seeking legal aid; until that request is decided, the court may not require the advance or let the deadline expire against that party.
