Types of Divorce in Spain<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In Spain, there are several types of divorce, and each has its own particularities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Divorcio de Mutuo Acuerdo<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Divorce by mutual consent, also known as consensual or amicable divorce, is the quickest and least expensive type of divorce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In divorce by mutual consent, both parties agree on the terms of the separation<\/strong>such as the division of property, alimony, and other relevant aspects. This agreement is set out in the Regulatory Agreement<\/strong>which shall be filed together with the petition for divorce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Contentious Divorce<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Contested divorce is a longer and more costly process than uncontested divorce and occurs when the parties cannot agree on terms of separation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this case, each party has to hire its own lawyer and solicitor, and the judge will decide on the division of property, alimony and other issues after a trial. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Express Divorce before a notary<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The express divorce is a form of divorce by mutual consent that was introduced in Spain <\/strong> to speed up and simplify the divorce process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To opt for this route, the couple must agree to divorce and to the terms of the divorce<\/strong>There are no minor children and you have been married for at least three months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

International Divorce<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This type of divorce occurs when one of the spouses is a foreigner or when the marriage was celebrated outside Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Separation of Property<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In Spain, the economic regime of the marriage is fundamental in divorce proceedings, as it determines how the couple's assets and debts will be divided<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the following, we will look at the two most common economic regimes: separation of property and community of property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Community of Profit and Loss<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Under the community of property regime, all property and debts acquired by either spouse during the marriage are deemed to be community property<\/strong> and should therefore be divided equally in the event of divorce. This includes wages, real estate purchased during the marriage, and any debts incurred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the division is usually equitable, there are exceptions. For example, assets that each spouse owned before the marriage, or assets acquired during the marriage by inheritance or gift, are not included in the community of property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Separation of property<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the separation of property regime<\/a>, each spouse retains ownership of the property he or she acquired before and during the marriage<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case of divorce, each spouse retains both ownership of his\/her individual property and individual debts, unless they have been incurred jointly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
