Divorce in Malta

Divorce Law in Malta

On the 1st October 2011, Divorce Law was incorporated within the Maltese legal framework. It is the termination of a marital union which brings about the cancelling of the legal duties and responsibilities of marriage which  ultimately dissolves the bonds of matrimony between the spouses. 

Separation services are also offered, which unlike divorce, does not dissolving the union of matrimony. In such cases, the spouses split their assets and decide on their matrimonial home. Other issues concerning custody and access rights are agreed upon. On the other hand, annulment states that the marriage never existed due to a defect when the couple got married to each other. Once it is granted, the couple is free to remarry once again since in the eyes of the law they are deemed to never have wed. Our firm also deals with annulment.
