Assegno divorzile e autoresponsabilità

Di Laura Masini -
The jurisprudential evolution of the divorce allowance has progressed hand in hand with the emergence and growing recognition of the principle of self-responsibility of the economically weaker spouse. This paper, through the analysis of the main rulings of the Italian Supreme Court of Cassation – from the 1987 reform to the 2017 turning point, and the 2018 decision of the Joint Sections – highlights the transition from a purely welfare-oriented conception of the allowance to a balanced view between post-marital solidarity and individual self-determination. In particular, the principle of self-responsibility finds concrete application in lump-sum payments or time-limited allowances. . .
