Divorce check: the Plenary Session revises the criterion of the lack of self-sufficiency

  • 16/07/2018

By Judgment no. 18287 of 11th July 2018, the Court of Cassation in its Plenary Session has revised, as to the divorce check, the criterion of the lack of self-sufficiency that last year, by Judgment no. 11504/2017, the first Section of the Court of Cassation had preferred to the traditional one of the standard of living during the marriage.

The Plenary Session has now stated that a divorce check must be assigned a helpful and at the same time compensatory function.

Therefore, a Judge will be required to assess the contribution given by each spouse to the familiar life, with regard to the length of the marriage, to the age of the spouses and also to the economic and professional perspectives that either of them may have sacrificed for the family.
