Frequently asked questions on separation and divorce
Separation and divorce
If you decide to get divorced, it is advisable to first consult a lawyer specialising in divorce who can advise you and file a divorce petition with the corresponding court of first instance.
The divorce petition will include a proposal to regulate the future situation after the end of the marriage. This proposal must necessarily detail important aspects such as:
- Parental authority.
- Custody and guardianship.
- The visiting arrangements.
- The use of the family home.
- Compensatory pension and alimony.
- Marital burdens.
Separation is the suspension of your life together with your partner, but without the dissolution of the marriage.
Divorce dissolves the marriage and allows you to remarry.
It is a relatively quick procedure that consists of the presentation of the regulatory agreement that has been agreed between the two parties. After hearing the Public Prosecutor's Office, the agreement is approved by the judge.
There is also the possibility of a divorce by mutual agreement before a notary, but only in cases where the couple have no children in common.
If you have to file for divorce, you must have a lawyer.
You will have to go through a contentious divorce to dissolve the marriage.
Compensatory pension
The compensatory pension is calculated taking into account several factors:
- The financial difference between the spouses after the divorce.
- Income and assets of each spouse.
- Duration of the marriage and whether either spouse left his/her job or reduced his/her working hours to devote him/herself to the family.
A spouse who suffers a significant financial imbalance after the divorce
It can be temporary until the beneficiary recovers financially, or indefinite if the person has no possibility of generating income.
You can apply to the judge for a modification or even elimination of the maintenance.
It is possible to claim compensation if there is serious financial loss as a result of the relationship.
Frequently asked questions about alimony
Frequently asked questions about modification of measures
Modification of Measures
Yes, but there must be a significant change in the original circumstances to justify the modification.
In order to apply for a modification of maintenance, it is necessary to demonstrate a change in the circumstances that were taken into account when the initial amount was fixed.
This change must be substantial, stable and not brought about voluntarily by the person requesting the modification.
The procedure for applying for modification involves filing an application with the competent court, accompanied by evidence to support the change of circumstances.
No, unless both parents agree or a judge authorises it.
When there is no agreement between the parents to modify the agreement, it is possible to resort to a contentious procedure to request the modification of the agreed measures.
The modification can be requested by either parent, and the judge will assess whether the new circumstances justify the change in the interests of the child. The intervention of the Public Prosecutor's Office is essential in these cases.
Child maintenance
It should cover everything necessary to ensure the upbringing and well-being of the children: food, housing, clothing, education, medical care and leisure.
Entitlement does not end at the age of 18. It continues if the child is still in education or is unable to support himself/herself.
Entitlement to maintenance ceases when the child becomes financially independent or leaves the family home.
If a parent loses his or her job and cannot pay the pension, he or she can apply for a temporary reduction or suspension. He or she must show that the loss of income is significant, permanent and not voluntary.
Generally, maintenance is updated every year in line with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) to prevent it from losing its value with inflation.
Another way of updating it is to consider the variation in the income of the provider, but this is a more complex and less common method.
Yes, but it must be proved that the decrease in income is significant and permanent and that it was not caused voluntarily.
