Maintenance Allowances and Economic Obligations

When a marriage or cohabitation relationship ends, delicate economic issues arise related to the maintenance of children or the economically weaker spouse. At the Bianucci Law Firm in Milan, we offer qualified legal assistance to address all issues related to maintenance allowances and economic obligations, ensuring fair management in compliance with current regulations.

The maintenance allowance is an economic measure provided by Italian law to support the spouse or children who, at the end of the relationship, do not have adequate means to maintain a decent standard of living. Economic obligations can vary depending on the circumstances and require careful and personalized assessment.

The maintenance allowance protects the economic well-being of the most vulnerable individuals, ensuring balance and stability after the end of a relationship.

Maintenance Allowance for the Spouse

In the event of separation or divorce, the economically weaker spouse may be entitled to a maintenance allowance. The main criteria for determining the allowance include:

• The duration of the marriage;
• The economic conditions of both spouses;
• The contribution provided by the spouse to the family unit;
• The possible needs of the beneficiary spouse.

Our firm will assist you in determining the amount of the allowance, both in the agreement phase and in case of litigation.

Maintenance Allowance for Children

Child maintenance is an imperative obligation for both parents, even in the event of separation or divorce. Among the factors considered for determining the allowance are:

• The needs of the minor, including education, health, and extracurricular activities;
• The standard of living provided during the family cohabitation;
• The economic capabilities of each parent;
• The time spent by the children with each parent.

Our goal is to ensure that the allowance is fair and adequate to the minor's needs, preserving their well-being and stability.

Review and Non-compliance with Economic Obligations

Economic and family conditions can change over time, making it necessary to review the maintenance allowance. Furthermore, in the event of non-payment, legal action can be taken to enforce economic obligations.

The Bianucci Law Firm offers assistance for:

• Requesting modification of the maintenance allowance;
• Recovery of unpaid overdue allowances;
• Assistance in enforcement procedures against the defaulting debtor.

With our experience, we will support you at every stage to protect your rights and those of your family members.
