Questão jurídica principal
Whether the cantonal refusal of legal aid was based on an incorrect assessment of the prospects of success.
Decisão extraída
The wife’s request was not wholly hopeless; the lower court wrongly treated all requests as prospectless.
Fundamentação extraída
The first-instance judge had already rejected the husband’s request to modify the wage assignment, which aligned with the wife’s position. The Obergericht could not therefore characterize that part of the request as hopeless in general.
