Key legal question
Whether the refusal to order personal hearings, child hearings, witness examinations, and a family expert violated the right to be heard.
Extracted holding
The refusal did not violate the constitutional right to be heard because the cantonal court reasonably deemed the requested evidence unnecessary or incapable of changing its assessment.
Extracted reasoning
The court accepted anticipatory assessment of evidence: the parties' positions were already well documented, the children had been heard by social services, and the proposed measures would mainly repeat known conflicts or harass the children.
