Judicial separation in an Italian court
Persons who are taking into consideration to file for judicial separation in Italy should know that the legal act should be established based on a legal ground that should be recognised by an Italian court.
In the case the charge is recognised by the court, the spouse who is filed against, can lose some of his or her marital rights.
The legal procedure starts by gathering the two parties in a local court, in which the judges will try to reconcile the couple, as required under the Italian legislation. Later on, the court will issue a decision, which can have a non-definitive ground. Still, the parties will receive the judicial separation and the court will establish legal grounds for the disputes between the parties. Our team of attorneys in Italy can offer legal representation to persons who want to obtain a divorce in this country.
Consequences of the judicial separation in Italy
The judicial separation is provided by a local court when the two parties can no longer live together. The judicial separation can be obtained by both of the spouses or by one of them, even in the situation in which the other party does not approve this procedure.
The main consequence of the procedure is that the couple will not live in the same house. However, the wife can still keep the husband’s family name only in the situation in which the husband does not file against this decision.
Through judicial separation, the parties will no longer own joint real estate. In the situation in which the couple has minor children, the parent who will not live in the marital home will be required to pay the alimony.
