Family law in Greece

Family disputes are a group of legal cases of heterogeneous content, which are almost always united by a common feature - the presence of family and (or) family relations in them in the present or past.

 

Family matters are varied - they relate to both property and personal relationships. With the dissolution of a marriage, for example, the mutual rights and obligations of the ex-husband and wife are terminated. At the same time, relationships based on kinship continue to exist (parents - children).

                                                                                                                                          Divorce
Divorce is never easy. It goes even more difficult in terms of its legal registration, when the spouses cannot agree on key issues: property and children. A lawyer is not a psychologist, but he can clarify the rights of everyone on these sensitive topics. Some family disagreements can be resolved without a trial, especially when members of a de facto broken family know their rights and responsibilities.

 

Invalidation of marriage
Marriage is a voluntary union of a man and a woman for the purpose of creating a family. From this concept, which is close in content to a legal one, it already follows that if a marriage is not concluded on a voluntary basis or without the purpose of creating a family, then it can be declared invalid at the suit of the interested person. The law also provides for other grounds for invalidating a marriage ("polygamy" and others).

 

Recognition of a marriage contract invalid
A marriage contract, in spite of its specificity, stipulated by family law, is primarily a contract that, along with others, can be invalidated if it is proven that it contains at least one legal defect. A lawyer will help determine the conditions for the validity of the marriage contract and will assess the prospects for the claim.

 

Division of jointly acquired property
Property acquired during marriage may be the subject of division at the suit of one of the spouses. It must be remembered that the division takes into account not only the property and property rights of the spouses, but also joint debts. As a general rule, the spouses' shares in joint property are recognized as equal, but exceptions are possible, for example, the court may take into account the noteworthy interests of minor children and some other circumstances. In general, this is a rather complex category of family disputes, which requires serious preparation before the trial.


Determining the child's place of residence
The place of residence of children is determined by the place of residence of his parents. If the parents live apart and they do not reach an agreement about who their minor child will live with, this issue may become the subject of legal proceedings at the suit of one of them.


Determination of the procedure for the participation of a separately living parent in raising children
The rights of parents in relation to their children are recognized as equal. Father and mother have equal family rights to communicate with children and to participate in their upbringing. At the same time, the right to participate in the upbringing of children is also an obligation. The parent with whom the children live has no right to prevent the other parent from communicating with the children and participating in their upbringing. Otherwise, the second parent is entitled to a claim.


Deprivation of parental rights
In cases provided for by law (evasion of upbringing and (or) maintaining a child, abuse of parental rights, etc.), one or both parents may be deprived of parental rights in relation to a minor child. At the same time, a parent who has been deprived of parental rights is not released from the obligation to support the child.
