Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the custody allocation in the divorce judgment had to be modified under changed circumstances for the child's welfare.
Decisione estratta
The custody arrangement was not to be changed; the existing allocation remained appropriate for the child's welfare.
Motivazione estratta
Although the child's residence abroad and the parents' separated living situation were new facts, the lower courts could find that the child should remain with the mother and her half-sister; the father had no workable care plan and would need to place the child with third persons.
