Questão jurídica principal
Whether Art. 117 ZPO/AI allows the court to award more than requested in maintenance matters within marital protection proceedings.
Decisão extraída
For pecuniary claims in marital protection proceedings, the disposition principle applies; the court is bound by the parties' requests.
Fundamentação extraída
The text of Art. 117 ZPO/AI excludes marriage cases from the official principle only for non-pecuniary matters, while pecuniary claims remain subject to party disposition. The reference to former Art. 158 aZGB does not justify extending official maxim to spouse maintenance; children's matters do not alter the process rule for spousal support.
