Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the guardianship under Art. 308(2) ZGB was lawful despite the father's recognition and pending joint-custody request.
Decisione estratta
The guardianship remained lawful insofar as it served to secure the child's support claim, because no jointly approved custody arrangement existed and the child’s maintenance had not yet been validly regulated.
Motivazione estratta
Swiss law assigns custody to the mother unless joint custody is formally granted. The appeal attacked the statutory scheme itself, but the court could not replace it by constitutional review in this proceeding.
