Europe allows you to choose the law applicable to divorce

Boy holding onto his motherThe approximate number of mixed marriages in the EU amounts to 16 million. Yesterday, EU Parliament decided to give the go-ahead to the agreement reached between countries of the European Union to regulate divorces in international marriages and that will allow couples to choose which national law governs in its procedure. Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Luxembourg, Malta, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia and Spain are the 14 countries that have undertaken to facilitate divorces to mixed couples. If the members of the marriage do not reach agreement, then the EU will establish a set of principles, giving preference to the place of residence of the spouses at the beginning of the divorce procedure. The law that becomes applicable shall govern the judgment of divorce, without affecting the assets´ area or the custody of the children.
