Family Law
Family law is a branch of civil law that regulates legal relationships that arise within the family and that involve its members. Its main objective is to protect and regulate the emotional, economic and legal ties between parents, children, spouses and other family members.
It covers marriage and conjugal unions. It establishes the rules and requirements for entering into marriage, as well as the rights and obligations of the spouses during the marriage. It also regulates situations such as divorce, separation, annulment of marriage and dissolution of de facto unions.
It regulates other emotional and cohabitation relationships, such as de facto couples, cohabitation unions and single-parent families. It recognises the rights and obligations of couples who live together without being legally married, as well as children born out of wedlock or from de facto unions.
