Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the Vaud justice of the peace retained territorial competence after the mother and child moved to Zurich area.
Decisione estratta
Yes. Competence was fixed when the child was domiciled in the district at the opening of proceedings and remained with the seized authority until the case ended.
Motivazione estratta
For child-relations matters, the authority of the child's domicile is competent under Art. 275 CC; the domicile at the time of filing determines local competence, which survives a later change of domicile. The mother's reliance on Art. 64 CPC did not show arbitrariness and did not displace this rule here.
