Key legal question
Whether the cantonal court arbitrarily fixed the father's child-support contributions for the two children.
Extracted holding
The appellate court did not act arbitrarily; it assessed the children's needs, took account of the parents' financial capacities and in-kind care, and the higher amount for one child was permissible because the father had not challenged it below.
Extracted reasoning
In protective-measure proceedings the Federal Court reviews only constitutional violations. The cantonal court used a child-needs calculation and then distributed the resulting cost according to income and care in kind; given the limited review and the absence of a method mandated by federal law, no arbitrariness was shown.
