Under Italian law, the separation or divorce of parents does not terminate their fundamental duty to provide for their children. This obligation is rooted in the child’s right to be maintained, educated, instructed, and morally assisted by both parents, ensuring respect for their capacities, natural inclinations, and aspirations.
This principle applies equally to children born within a marriage and those born to unmarried parents. The legal framework is designed to ensure that the dissolution of the parental union impacts the children’s quality of life as little as possible. In these cases, legal advice is essential for couples who have separated or divorced and share children.
