Questão jurídica principal
Whether the mother had standing to file a constitutional complaint against the guardianship order concerning her out-of-wedlock child.
Decisão extraída
She lacked standing because she asserted only the child's welfare and no directly vested personal right within the meaning of Art. 88 OG.
Fundamentação extraída
The Federal Court held that the ZGB provisions on the out-of-wedlock child do not confer a parental claim to custody; a parent's challenge to custody or guardianship measures invokes the child's interests, not an own enforceable right. Such an interest is sufficient for supervisory complaints under the ZGB, but not for a state-law constitutional complaint, which requires direct impairment of the complainant's own rights.
