“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.

A survey commissioned by an international money transfer platform has found that 34% of British expats are currently in the process of applying for citizenship or permanent residency in another country.

Uncertainty regarding the ongoing effect of Brexit is the chief motivation, and the impact on citizenship could be greater still; a further 23 percent of the adults polled during the survey (carried out by YouGov plc from 18-04-19 to 02-05-19) said they would seek citizenship for themselves and their family in the event of a hard Brexit.
