When applying for Spanish nationality by residence, one of the fundamental requirements is to pass two tests: the CCSE exam (constitutional and sociocultural knowledge of Spain) and the DELE exam (Spanish language level, minimum A2). However, not everyone is obliged to take them. What are the CCSE and DELE exams?

Ways to formalize your relationship as a domestic partner

Many clients who come to our offices ask us how they can formalize their relationship with their partner.

We can do it in the notary’s office, or directly in the Registry of Domestic Partnerships of Catalonia. How can we constitute it? Our Civil Code of

Pareja decide compensación económica después del divorcio y separación

Workmen’s compensation as a consequence of the breakup of the company

Many couples, when separating or divorcing, are unaware that the fact of separating or divorcing may mean that one of the partners must pay a certain amount of money to the other to try to mitigate or compensate for the economic imbalance caused by the breakup. In the Civil Code of Catalonia we find the economic compensation for work (article 232-5 CCCat). This type of compensation is given in those cases in which it is accredited that one of the

Do you know what are the covenants in anticipation of marital breakdown?

Covenants in anticipation of marital breakdown are agreements that couples can make to regulate how things would be in the event of a possible breakup. These covenants can affect both personal and financial aspects. Making them may seem cold and one or both partners may be reluctant to do so. Many couples start their life together with a lot of excitement, but few couples stop to think about what would happen if one day things don’t work out the way

Persona discapacitada pide ayuda judicial en un juzgado

Do you know that there is a procedure to provide a series of judicial support measures for people with disabilities?

Currently, we have a specific judicial process to protect people with disabilities. This protection focuses, above all, on the patrimonial or personal areas of this person. The objective of adopting these measures by judicial means is, above all, that the will of this person is respected and that there is no abuse or negative influences in decision making concerning these areas. This type of process, which is regulated in the Law of Voluntary Jurisdiction, can be initiated by spouses (not

Una pareja discute por su separación y su divorcio en Barcelona

Do you know the differences between marriage annulment, separation and divorce?

It is common to confuse the terms nullity, separation or divorce. Many clients think that they are the same, but in reality they are not. At the legal level, there are notable differences between one or the other. If we are dealing with a marriage nullity, we are referring to the fact that the marriage never existed, that it was not valid and, therefore, that it was not legal. The causes for which a marriage would be annulled must exist

Padres en disputa de guardia y custodia y patria potestad

Do you know the difference between parental authority and guardianship and custody? Do you know when they can be withdrawn?

Before assessing whether or not it is possible to withdraw parental authority or custody, it is necessary to know what is meant by each of them. Many clients often confuse the concepts of parental authority and guardianship and custody. Here I explain the main differences: Guardianship and custody refers to those rights and duties that focus on the direct care of the child. For example, with whom of the two parents will live. In this sphere, minor decisions are made

Mascota junto a su dueña después de un divorcio

Custody of animals in case of separation or divorce

Can a pet be considered a “child” in a separation? The answer is yes. When a couple separates, they should discuss who will take care of the pet and how the other will contribute to the pet’s expenses. Animals are sentient living beings, as determined in our regulations. What does this mean? In that we must consider them as a party in a separation or divorce process. Many clients ask me: Does it make a difference where I go for

Parental alignment Child abuse or emotional manipulation?

Parental alienation is known as the emotional manipulation that a parent exerts on the children so that they reject the other parent. It is commonly found in the processes of separations or conflictive divorces in which the parents are playing the custody of the children. This increased tension between the parties is unfortunately passed on to the children. Many know this figure as a “subtle” form of child abuse because it is considered by professionals as an “alteration of the
