Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the divorce-modification action under Art. 129(3) CC was hopeless for purposes of legal aid.
Decisione estratta
The action was not hopeless; under Art. 129(3) CC, the required improvement in the obligor’s financial circumstances may be less than 10% when the finances are tight and the change can materially increase the beneficiary’s maintenance.
Motivazione estratta
Art. 129(3) CC sets lower requirements than Art. 129(1) CC. In tight financial circumstances, even a modest improvement for the obligor can lead to a noticeable increase in maintenance, so a rigid 10% threshold is not justified.
