Questão jurídica principal
Whether the cantonal appeal against the dismissal of the child-support modification claim had sufficient prospects of success to justify legal aid and counsel
Decisão extraída
The appeal was not sufficiently promising; the challenged refusal of legal aid was therefore lawful.
Fundamentação extraída
The appellant's arguments against the first-instance assessment did not overcome the prevailing case law on the effect of a custodial parent's improved earnings, relied on unsubstantiated factual allegations, failed to challenge all independent grounds, and did not show that debt claims should materially alter the maintenance calculation.
