Consensual and Judicial Divorce

Divorce represents an important and often delicate phase in the lives of spouses. The Bianucci Law Firm offers comprehensive assistance for divorce, both in its consensual and judicial forms, ensuring personalized solutions and effective management of every legal aspect.

Italian law provides for two modes of divorce: consensual divorce, applicable when spouses reach an agreement, and judicial divorce, necessary when positions cannot be reconciled. Both approaches aim to clearly and definitively define the relationships between the parties.

The choice between consensual and judicial divorce depends on the spouses' ability to find an agreement on asset matters, child custody, and other relevant aspects.

Consensual Divorce

Consensual divorce materializes when both spouses reach an agreement on all fundamental issues, including:

  • Custody and maintenance of children;
  • Division of common assets;
  • Distribution of any debts;
  • Management of post-divorce relationships.

This procedure is usually quicker and less burdensome, as the shared agreement is ratified by the court, ensuring a peaceful and collaborative divorce process.

Judicial Divorce

Judicial divorce is necessary when spouses cannot reach an agreement on crucial issues. In this context, the judge intervenes to define:

  • The conditions of custody and placement of children;
  • The calculation of maintenance payments;
  • The division of assets and common debts;
  • Other contentious aspects related to the end of the marriage.

This procedure can be longer and more complex, as it requires thorough analysis of situations and the presentation of evidence from both parties.

Yes, during the judicial procedure, spouses can reach an agreement that allows for a consensual solution, subject to the judge's ratification.
