Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Below, you’ll find answers to some of the most common questions regarding family and child law.

A consensual separation occurs when both spouses agree on all practical aspects such as child custody, use of the family home, and financial support. This type of separation avoids lengthy disputes and allows couples to submit a mutual agreement directly to the judge.

After legal separation, divorce can be requested:

  • After 6 months if the separation was formalized in court
  • After 1 year if registered at the city hall (municipality)
    With the shortened divorce procedure, introduced in 2014, the process can take just a few weeks if there are no disputes.

The court always prioritizes the best interests of the child when determining custody. Options include:

  • Shared custody: both parents make major decisions together
  • Sole custody: the child primarily lives with one parent
  • Visitation rights: the non-custodial parent has scheduled time with the child

Yes. If there are significant changes in either parent’s circumstances (such as relocation, new relationships, or income changes), you may request a modification of existing custody or support arrangements.

LVictims of domestic violence can request:

  • Urgent protective measures (e.g., removal of the alleged abuser from the home)
  • A personalized safety plan
  • Integrated legal and psychological support

We support victims with discretion, urgency, and full confidentiality.

In Italy, adoption is generally reserved for married couples, although there are exceptions. In certain situations, a single person may adopt, especially in special or international cases.

Not necessarily. If both parties agree on all terms, a consensual separation can be arranged by submitting a joint agreement directly to the judge, avoiding a full trial.

Child support is calculated based on objective factors including:

  • The income of each parent
  • The specific needs of the child
  • The amount of time the child spends with each parent

This arrangement can be reviewed if there are significant changes in either party’s situation.

Failure to pay child support can result in legal consequences, including wage garnishment or enforcement proceedings. Courts take these obligations seriously and may impose penalties to ensure compliance.
