5A_693/2025: Non-admission of the appeal concerning alternating custody and maintenance arrangements
Summary of the facts
The parties A.________ and B.________, unmarried parents of a child born in 2020, disputed after their separation in 2023 over custody, maintenance payments, and other child-related matters. The District Court of Dietikon ordered alternating custody, which the Zurich Cantonal Court confirmed with adjustments. It also instructed both parents to keep their sexual lives separate from the daughter and ordered a custodianship. The mother (appellant) appealed this to the Federal Supreme Court.
Summary of the considerations
The appeal is admissible; the Federal Supreme Court reviews both violations of federal law and the findings of fact of the lower court. The lower court's assessment of alternating custody was correct. Despite a serious parental conflict, the parents' ability to cooperate was sufficiently evaluated, and the lower court took into account the continuity of the existing care arrangement. The decision on the care shares (equal) stands. The instruction to keep their sexual life away from the daughter was based on Art. 307 para. 3 CC and justified by previous early sexualized behavior of the daughter; this holds legally. The appointment of custodianship under Art. 308 para. 2 CC to monitor the care arrangement and promote tolerance in bonding is justified due to the parental conflict and circumstances endangering the child's welfare. Minor errors in income calculation and the distribution of external care costs were found in the maintenance calculation, but these had no impact on the decision within the lower court's discretion. The equal allocation of parenting credits and the amount of court costs were not successfully challenged.
Summary of the dispositive
The Federal Supreme Court dismissed the appeal and imposed court costs and compensation payable to the respondent on the appellant.
7B_352/2026: Non-admission of the appeal concerning inspection of files and legal aid
Summary of the facts
The appellant A.________ filed an appeal against a decision of the Lucerne Cantonal Court, which denied him the status of injured party as well as access to files and legal aid.
Summary of the considerations
A.________ directed the appeal against the decision of the Lucerne Cantonal Court. The appeal did not meet the reasoning requirements under Art. 42 paras. 1 and 2 BGG nor the qualified objections. The appellant did not substantively address the reasoning of the lower court and did not explain how federal law was violated. The appeal was based on subjective descriptions and general criticism. Legal aid was denied as the appeal was deemed hopeless.
Summary of the dispositive
The court does not admit the appeal and rejects the application for legal aid. Costs are imposed on the appellant.
7B_517/2026: Non-admission of the appeal concerning release from custody
Summary of the facts
The Criminal Court of Lucerne sentenced A.________ on 14 November 2025 to five years and eight months’ imprisonment for multiple attempted conditional intent homicide in excessive self-defense. During the appeal proceedings, the preventive detention was extended. A.________ applied for release from custody on 17 March 2026, which the Lucerne Cantonal Court rejected on 26 March 2026. A.________ filed a criminal appeal against the order on 20 April 2026.
Summary of the considerations
The appellant does not sufficiently address the reasoning of the lower court. His submissions (including police corruption and alleged evidence of innocence) do not meet the legal reasoning requirements (Art. 42 para. 2 and Art. 106 para. 2 BGG). Due to inadequate reasoning, the appeal is not examined in the simplified procedure (Art. 108 para. 1 lit. b and para. 3 BGG).
Summary of the dispositive
The appeal is not admitted and court costs are imposed on the appellant.

The responsible compensation office (GastroSocial) rejected his request as the entitlement under Art. 6 of the COVID-19 Loss of Earnings Ordinance was considered forfeited.
