Questione giuridica chiave
Whether hypothetical third-party childcare costs may be added to the child's maintenance when the mother works full-time and grandparents provide free care.
Decisione estratta
No. Because the mother is already 100% employed and the grandparents care for the child free of charge, no care support is owed and no hypothetical daycare costs may be charged as cash maintenance.
Motivazione estratta
Betreuungsunterhalt covers the caregiver's living costs only if they cannot be borne due to caregiving. Here the mother suffers no income reduction from childcare. Cash maintenance covers the purchase of needed services; if care is provided gratuitously, no such services must be bought.
