Maintenance of the Ex-Wife: The New Guidelines of the Court of Cassation

Recently, the Supreme Court of Cassation has revolutionized the way alimony is calculated. With a ruling that marks a historic change, the criterion of standard of living at the time of marriage is no longer the main parameter for determining the amount of maintenance.

The Court's New Approach

The Court's decision is based on a more modern and fair view of marital separation, focusing on criteria of economic self-sufficiency. This approach aims to assess the ex-wife's ability to maintain a dignified and independent lifestyle, rather than perpetuating the standard of living enjoyed during the marriage.

The new guideline emphasizes self-sufficiency and economic independence.

Key Elements for Calculating Alimony

• Income and Assets: The economic capacity of both parties is assessed, considering income and assets.
• Contribution to Family Life: The contribution made by the ex-wife during the marriage, such as caring for the family and home, is taken into account.
• Duration of Marriage: A long-lasting marriage may justify a more substantial alimony.
