Frequently asked questions about Civil Law

Below are some of the most frequently asked questions we receive from our clients regarding financial and banking law. For any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

01

How is each spouse’s contribution to the acquisition of jointly owned assets determined in judicial partition proceedings?

In partition proceedings, the court may be called upon to determine not only the assets subject to division, but also the percentage of contribution of each spouse to their acquisition. In the absence of an agreement, the interested party may request the determination of a differentiated share, provided that personal involvement is proven through income, household work, child-rearing, or support of the other spouse’s professional activities.

02

What can be done if the parents fail to reach an agreement regarding the child’s residence and visitation schedule after divorce?

In the absence of an agreement between the parents, the guardianship court has jurisdiction to determine the minor’s residence, the schedule of personal relations, and each parent’s contribution to maintenance. The decision will be rendered following consultation with the guardianship authority and, depending on age, the minor. The court considers the best interests of the child, assessing the stability of the home, living conditions, and the availability of each parent.

03

What can be done if a real estate asset has been transferred through the fraudulent infringement of another co-owner’s rights?

In such cases, an action for annulment based on fraud against the law may be brought, invoking the lack of consent or the exceeding of powers of disposition. If it is proven that the transaction was concluded in bad faith and with the purpose of circumventing the co-owner’s rights, the annulment of the sale and the reintegration of the asset into the joint estate may be sought.

04

Can a person be held liable in tort for the wrongful act of another person?

Yes. Tort liability for the act of another person is possible in cases expressly provided by law, such as parents for the acts of their minor children, institutions for the acts of their employees, or principals for their agents.

05

Is it possible to annul a sale and purchase agreement that has already been registered in the land register?

Yes, but only under certain conditions. The annulment of the agreement may be sought before the court if a defect of consent is proven (fraud, error, duress), the incapacity of a party, or the absence of cause or object. Even if the right has been registered in the land register, an action for annulment may lead to its removal if the court finds the absolute or relative nullity of the agreement.
