Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the cantonal court sufficiently established the facts and respected the right to be heard when fixing child support based on a hypothetical income.
Decisione estratta
No. The cantonal judgment lacked essential factual findings on the husband's move to Cambodia and possible remarriage, so the child-support assessment could not stand.
Motivazione estratta
In child-related matters the court must investigate the facts ex officio. The appellate judgment omitted decisive circumstances relevant to the husband's earning capacity and living costs, violating both the duty of investigation and the right to be heard; the Federal Court also needed a complete factual basis under the BGG.
