Divorce
The marriage can be terminated in two ways:
- administrative – in civil status offices, on the basis of a joint declaration of spouses or at the request of one of the spouses;
- judicial – in the court, if the spouses have minor children or there are disputes over the partition or the maintenance of the spouse who is unfit for work.
At the dissolution of marriage, the spouses can submit to the court an agreement on the division of their common possessions (in equal shares), the child maintenance payment, the maintenance payment of the spouse who is unfit for work and requires material support, indicating the amount, as well as determining the parent with whom the common minors will live.
In the absence of an agreement between the spouses, provided for in para. (1), or should it turn out that the agreement infringes the rights and interests of the minors or of one of the spouses, the court shall:
- divide, at the request of the spouses (of one of them), their common possessions;
- determine the parent who will pay minors’ maintenance payment and its amount;
- establish, at the request of the spouse who is unable to work and who is entitled to the maintenance payment from the other spouse, its amount and its method of paying;
- decide which of the parents the minor children will be living with after divorce.
