NULLITY OF MARRIAGE
In marriages celebrated with a Catholic religious rite, alongside the hypothesis of the dissolution of the marriage bond from the perspective of civil law, there is sometimes a need to clarify whether or not, at the time of the marriage, the prerequisites for its validity under Canon Law exist.
The canonical order, given the sacramental nature of marriage between baptized persons, provides that only the ecclesiastical judge has jurisdiction over such a bond and can declare its nullity (can. 1055 no. 2, 1059, 1401 no. 1, 1671 c.j.c.) and that only the Pontiff can declare its dissolution in the case of a marriage that is ruptured and not consummated (can. 1142 c.j.c.).
The firm considers clarification on this matter and a review of the situation by the ecclesiastical authorities to be essential for the interests of the family. We therefore maintain constant contact with counsellors at the ecclesiastical Tribunals, taking every opportunity to collaborate with them on consultations and coordinated activities.
SEPARATION
The firm offers its consolidated experience in the field of family law for advice and assistance in cases of marriage crisis. Before reaching separation, whether consensual or judicial, professionals will evaluate every viable alternative in the best interest of the family, including through the use of family mediation. By its very nature as a temporary situation, separation must be handled with particular delicacy and care.
Judicial separation is based on the intolerability of cohabitation or the serious prejudice to the upbringing of the children (Article 151 of the Civil Code), and consensual separation on the consent of the spouses (Article 158 of the Civil Code). In both the one and the other form of separation, the regulation of property relations, as well as personal relations, is left to the order of the judge, who will determine the respective entitlements or approve the consent of the spouses. In view of this, it is essential that professionals with a good deal of experience behind them take charge of the situation, enabling them to deal with all too precarious balances with the necessary determination and foresight.
Having ascertained that the family microcosm, understood both as the marriage bond and as the relationship between the spouses and of the spouses with the children, will be affected by the crisis situation, the law firm will undertake to follow the envisaged procedural process with the utmost seriousness, also dealing with issues concerning child custody and the division of property between the spouses.
