Chi si è sposato in Chiesa, con rito concordatario o semplicemente religioso, può ottenere dall’autorità giudiziaria ecclesiastica la dichiarazione di nullità (comunemente, ma anche erroneamente, detta annullamento) del proprio matrimonio. La sentenza ecclesiastica non è automaticamente valida per lo Stato italiano, ma deve essere delibata, occorre cioè un procedimento, presso la Corte d’Appello, con il quale lo Stato recepisca detta sentenza valutando se ad essa possa essere riconosciuta efficacia agli effetti civili. Se la delibazione viene concessa, il matrimonio si considera nullo anche per il diritto italiano e viene meno l’obbligo di contribuzione al mantenimento dell’ex coniuge. Inoltre, chi ha ottenuto la nullità può celebrare un nuovo matrimonio in Chiesa.
Come funziona.
Il procedimento viene gestito da un avvocato in possesso di una particolare abilitazione. Si articola necessariamente in due gradi di giudizio ed è essenzialmente un procedimento di tipo orale, la cui istruttoria dunque si basa principalmente sull’interrogatorio dei coniugi e l’assunzione di prove testimoniali. A seconda però del capo di nullità invocato l’autorità giudiziaria ecclesiastica potrà anche disporre una perizia posichiatrica. A giudizio concluso, chiamato ad emettere la pronuncia definitiva sarà il tribunale competente di seconda istanza che, nella maggior parte cases, confirm the decision at first instance.
Preliminary interview.
lawyer authorized to practice before the ecclesiastical court must conduct a preliminary interview with both spouses rather than depth, or at least with their spouse while, during which examines whether or not the grounds for invalidity. If the lawyer believes that there are, you will be able to initiate the procedure.
costs and expenses.
The total fees for lawyers in cases of marital nullity shall be fixed by the Italian Episcopal Conference of a minimum of € 1,500 and a maximum of € 2850, for the entire procedure in two levels of jurisdiction, without prejudice to the tax law and other expenses such as unexpected additional investigation, the addition of new items, requests for extensions of time etc. .. In the event that even the court of appeal shall be conducted with the ordinary, or by taking new evidence, the lawyer it will be an additional fee with a minimum of € 575 and a maximum of € 1,150. To attorney's fees, must then add 500 € for costs to be paid at the beginning of the ecclesiastical court procedure, as a sort of unified contribution to the process. Legal aid: the church order provides a figure quite similar to that of legal aid State law provides for the Italian people have-nots. Who is eligible, may obtain legal assistance at the expense of the Ecclesiastical Court. The requirements for obtaining the benefit are more or less than those provided for by Italian law, especially in relation to income, plus a declaration of a parish priest attesting to his poverty.
times.
time varies depending on the area of \u200b\u200bItaly where the procedure is established. We can take the example of Modena, a reality that we know best. Modena is home to an ecclesiastical tribunal responsible for all of Emilia, ie for the same proceedings of Modena, Reggio, Parma, Piacenza (while Bologna has jurisdiction at first instance for the whole of Romagna). Appeals Modena at the time are quite fast and in a year and a half usually ends the entire procedure in both instances, up to two years if it is necessary to undertake an appraisal.
Joint Action. The task
seeking the nullity of marriage may be religious also conferred by both spouses in the same office. In this case, the investigation is easier and faster, even if this structure does not change merely because it comes from a joint request.
