Marriage and Family law
Marriage, separation and divorce under Italian law
If you are planning a German-Italian marriage or are already married to a German or Italian spouse, LAVVIT Italian lawyers can advise you. At first glance it is not clear whether German or Italian law applies to a German-Italian marriage. A prenuptial agreement can also help here. In the case of separation or divorce, especially in cross-border cases, both German and Italian family law can be applied to parts of divorce law.
Marriage under Italian law
Marriage in Italy can be celebrated in three ways according to Italian family law: civil marriage before the registrar, concordat marriage celebrated by a Catholic priest and Catholic marriage.
