In conjugal relations and those of spouses and their children, the realistic weighing of the interests of each party is the basis for choosing the best out-of-court or judicial solution. It is our daily observation that the high emotional charge caused by these differences does not allow our clients to make such a weighing in the first place.
Today, with the simplification of the process of issuing consensual divorces introduced by the new law 4507/2017, the whole process is handled out of court and with greater speed. An important aspect, however, continues to be the agreement of the parties in relation to their obligations and rights towards their minor children (maintenance, communication of minors).
Diligence in the drafting of this agreement and the correct wording of its terms in many divorce cases of our clients served their interests even after a period of many years after the dissolution of their marriage.
In the cases of contested divorces, in the most frequent cases, the solution of invoking the two-year separation as a reason for the dissolution of the marriage is followed by the Court. In the big cities, the burden of the courts is such that the trial set after the filing of the relevant lawsuit covers the two-year dimension, which according to the law is an irrefutable presumption of a strong shock to the married life. It has even been judged that the completion of the two-year anniversary is not affected by the opportunistic attempts to re-approach the couple.
Unfortunately, it is no longer a rare phenomenon, in view of a contested divorce (and the consequences that this entails, e.g. custody of minors) that "incidents" even of sexual abuse of children are reported with the obvious purpose of "targeting" one spouse by the another for upcoming litigation. However, properly dealing with such malicious tactics always leads to the opposite results.
Custody of minors is awarded to one of the two spouses after the dissolution of their marriage and includes all care for the child's daily living. In limited cases and under special conditions, the courts jointly determine the custody of both parents.
The sole criterion of the court's decision is the interest of the minor child. Decisive factors influencing the court's decision are the bond with other family members (siblings, grandparents and other relatives). In cases where the dissolution of the marriage results in relocation (moving to another place) of one of the spouses, then the bond of the minor with the place of each and possibly with the school he attended until then is considered crucial. As long as the age of the children allows it (usually over 7 years old) the deciding judge asks to hear their opinion at a pre-arranged appointment.
It is important to emphasize that custody is in no way connected to the reason why the marriage was dissolved in the first place. Even the spouse who caused the dissolution of the marriage with his behavior can be awarded custody.
The question "what am I obliged to pay in maintenance" is the most basic question in cases of divorce or the existence of children out of wedlock. First of all, it must be clarified that the maintenance obligation rests with the spouse to whom custody of the minor child(ren) has not been awarded. Alimony primarily concerns the children until they reach the age of 18 , however, in cases of studies, the court may award alimony until the completion of university studies, even at postgraduate or dictatorial level.
Alimony for each minor is awarded after first assessing the total amount of needs (food, clothing, education, extracurricular activities, tutoring, holidays, social events, etc.) and then calculating the possibility of each spouse to contribute to them. In practice, the judge ends up with an equation, in which on one side is the amount of the child's necessary expenses on a monthly basis and on the other is the ratio of the possibility (in fraction) of each spouse to cover them.
The basic needs of the child are known to the court and easily assessed by it. The child's exceptional needs (e.g. financial expenses for treatment or hospitalization in cases of illness or extracurricular activities) are the subject of proof and correct citation by the lawyer handling the case.
In addition, the phenomenon of concealment of income by the spouse liable for alimony is particularly common, especially when his income is not readily apparent from the (joint) tax return or it is not known to the spouse requesting alimony on behalf of the minor (e.g. in cases of freelancers or incomes abroad). Access to the spouse's tax information is possible after a public prosecutor's order, as it has been judged that in these cases the child's legitimate interest in knowing the financial capabilities of the dependent-parents overrides tax confidentiality.
In the rare case of the existence of income in the name of the minor (e.g. rent), the amount of maintenance can be significantly reduced. It is pointed out that non-payment of alimony entails serious criminal consequences. However, it has been decided that in some cases this omission can be forgiven by the court.
Communication refers to the ability of the parent, who does not have custody of the child, to communicate. Communication cannot be forced on the parent as it is their right and not their obligation. Common agreements (and always if the minor's age allows) include at least one weekly overnight stay with the non-custodial parent, as well as some weekends each month and alternating stays with them during holiday periods when school is in session. holidays (Christmas, Easter). Similarly, the overnight stay with the parent for a few days during the summer holidays is also usually agreed (or in case of dispute is determined by the court).
It must be emphasized that the courts tend (and rightly so) to facilitate communication with parents, as this contributes to the proper development of the minor. For this reason, they do not link the cause or the circumstances of your separation with this right, nor with the payment or non-payment of alimony.
When the death of a relative or a third person with whom there is a kinship or personal bond occurs, issues of inheritance of his property (movable and immovable, including of course his money) arise.
Extremely important issues are the deadlines set by law for acceptance-renunciation procedures and of course the fact of the existence or not of a will (public, autograph, secret) by the deceased.
There are three types of inheritance and they are analyzed below:
When someone has died without leaving a will, then only his relatives and his spouse have a direct inheritance right to his property. The order of succession is defined by law and is distinguished by rank. Only when the series of classes is exhausted without the induction of inheritance having taken place, the public is now called to the last class.
Particular attention must be paid by all potential heirs (intestate) in case of renunciations by the beneficiaries of the previous classes, in which case their order is called.
It is pointed out that the spouse of the deceased in the first order of intestate succession (children-grandchildren) inherits ¼ of his property. In all other classes he inherits half of the property.
The institution of the will essentially enables the individual to determine the fate of his property after his death and generally regulate his inheritance. It is emphasized that it is not mandatory to leave a will (because in such a case the civil code defines the succession of the person who died without a will).
There are three types of wills:
the public will i.e. before the notary in the presence of three witnesses (third parties not relatives and spouse) or before the notary in the presence of a second notary and a witness.
the autobiographical will, entirely written by the testator's hand, dated and signed by him. It is not subject to any other type and can be given to a notary public for safekeeping, otherwise it is kept wherever the testator wishes.
the secret will is essentially a will written by the testator or a third person, but it must be signed by the testator and given in a sealed envelope to the notary in the presence of witnesses or another notary and a witness, with the wording that the envelope contains the provisions of his last will.
The type of will will be chosen by the testator himself. Of course, it is important to obtain the necessary information about the particularities of each type of will in order to decide what exactly he wants. All types of will provide the same security, however certain reasons may make it preferable to choose a particular type of will.
The death of the person (when he has left a will), the knowledge of the death, the knowledge of the existence of a will as well as the finding of a will, are the main events that mark the beginning of the deadlines for acceptance, renunciation, publication of the will, issuance of probate, declarations to the competent authorities tax authorities and many other required procedures.
It is understood that all of the above require the cooperation of a lawyer in order to avoid errors and omissions.
Forced succession is that which can be done by law even regardless of the will of the deceased. In other words, the law defines forced heirs, who are also called legal shareholders. Legal beneficiaries are the descendants, parents and spouse of the deceased person.
The important thing is that even if the deceased has drawn up a will in which he leaves nothing to the legal shareholders, they have the right to ask to receive the part of the property that the law determines for them necessarily, which is equal to ½ of the of their intestate portion. (example: X dies, who had a child, T, alive, and his property consists of a residential apartment and a ground floor shop.
If X has not left a will, then according to intestate succession, his entire property, i.e. both properties, becomes the property of his daughter, who of course has the right to renounce and in such a case the way is opened for the heirs designated by the second class.
If X has left a will, its contents must be examined. He may have established T as an heir to all or part of the property. He may still have installed an heir to any third party.
His will in any case is strong in the part that does not affect T's legal share, i.e. ½ of the inherited property.)
Any share holder who has not received the legal fate, has the right to appeal to the competent civil court in order to recognize his right to inherit and to be given what belongs to him from the inherited property - suit for lot. Defamation of legal destiny is a very frequent phenomenon (perhaps the most frequent) in cases of inheritance law. The correct valuation of the inherited property, but also the calculation of the value of the portion received by each heir by inheritance, or in the form of a donation before the death of the heir, is the subject of the correct handling of the case. This is not particularly important especially in those frequent cases - which our company has faced many times - in which the will has been drawn up in such a way,
