No alimony for short marriage

If the marriage has not lasted long and the spouse is young and working, then in the event of a divorce, alimony may be not assigned. According to the recent ruling of the Italian Supreme Court, the factors to be considered in order to recognize the assignment of alimony to the spouse are several:

The young age of the spouse;
The work activity;
The short duration of the marriage;
The absence of evidence in relation to the previous life standard.

The case-law involves a wife who complains, before the court that the income capacity and income inequality between the two spouses have not been assessed. According to the Court, however, on the basis of logical-legal reasoning, the factor that the spouse is working and is especially young corresponds to her real capacity to generate income. Moreover, the factor of the objective short duration of marriage is also crucial.
