Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appeal was admissible as a subsidiary constitutional complaint rather than a civil law appeal
Decisão extraída
The filing was treated as a subsidiary constitutional complaint because the amount in dispute did not reach the statutory threshold and no legal question of fundamental importance was invoked.
Fundamentação extraída
The contested maintenance amount and duration failed to satisfy the value threshold; the complaint was timely, and the appellant expressly relied on the subsidiary constitutional remedy.
