Both involve legal and financial consequences, but the fundamental difference is that divorce dissolves the marital bond.
That is, the couple is no longer married, although all legal effects remain. For example:
• Legally separated individuals cannot remarry new partners.
• Divorce also dissolves the marital property regime and prevents the divorced spouse from inheritance rights, although compensatory support may still apply.
According to current law, it may be requested three months after marriage.
Exception: when there is proven risk to life, physical integrity, freedom, moral integrity, or sexual freedom and indemnity of the filing spouse, children, or any family member.
A claim is filed before the territorially competent court of first instance. Several scenarios may apply:
• If the spouses reside in different places, jurisdiction may be the marital residence or the defendant’s residence, at the claimant’s choice.
• If the defendant has no fixed residence, jurisdiction may be where they are located or their last residence, at the claimant’s choice.
• Otherwise, jurisdiction belongs to the claimant’s residence.
This depends on the evidence presented (documents, testimony, expert reports…) and the court’s speed.
It also depends on the court’s workload, but approximately it usually takes about one year to resolve these matters.
The Civil Code establishes that it may be requested by one of the spouses, without the knowledge of the other.
The following documentation will be required:
• Marriage certificate from the Civil Registry
• Birth certificates of children (if applicable)
• Regulatory agreement
• Certificate of residence registration
• All documentation necessary to prove your claim
• In cases involving financial matters, all documentation proving the spouses’ and children’s economic circumstances (tax returns, payslips, bank certificates, property titles, or registry certificates)
Yes. First, the ruling from the Court of First Instance may be appealed before the Provincial Court.
Secondly, if there is a substantial change in the conditions existing at the time of the ruling, modification may be requested.
Previously approved measures may also be modified by mutual agreement or through contested proceedings.
