Frequently asked questions
What documents are needed for a divorce petition?
Generally: a copy of the marriage certificate, the national identity card, the children's birth certificates and evidence of both spouses' financial situation (salary, rent, expenses). Depending on the case, other documents may help, for example about the marital home or the causes of the discord. We give you a precise list at the first meeting.
What are the wife's rights in a divorce by mutual consent?
In a divorce by mutual consent (Article 114 of the Family Code), the spouses set the terms of the separation themselves, including the wife's financial rights, provided these terms do not conflict with the Code or with the children's interests. The court attempts reconciliation and, if it finds that the agreement stands, authorises the divorce deed to be drawn up. It is therefore important to have the agreement reviewed before signing it, as it binds both parties.
