“Quick” divorces – new legislation in Italy

Previously a three-year separation was required in either case and, whilst not being particularly permissive given that a separation period is still needed, this legislation will speed up the civil process and is therefore a welcome change.

The new law modifies Art. 3 of Italian Law no. 898/1970.

Whilst in an ideal world it would be nice if all families could stay together and live in harmony until death, we have to accept that going through a divorce is becoming increasingly more common in this modern era. Becoming independent again can be very stressful for most especially as it can involve organising your wealth/settlement in a new way. We help individuals to invest capital to give them piece of mind, income streams and protection levels in line with their needs and desires, whilst incorporating tax efficiency and estate planning features at the same time.

University buildingExpat financial advisers in the Netherlands discuss many things with their clients – from the best way to structure expat regular savings to pension transfers and inheritance planning.

However, for certain expat parents and grandparents living in the Netherlands education fee planning is integral to the realisation of their wider goals. And why shouldn’t it be, university degrees are among the most important and expensive investments you can make in a young person’s future.

This is why a recent decision by the Amsterdam District Court should be welcomed by the clients of many expat financial advisers in the Netherlands as it could lead to their education fee burden being reduced dramatically.
