The “Law in Context” for (Stepchild) Adoption in Same-Sex Couples: The Italian Models
2019
This essay focuses on a recent development in Italian family law with respect to stepchild adoption in cases involving same-sex couples. Resorting to arguments of both the continuity of the affective relationship and the best interests of the child, courts have been willing to permit adoptions in these cases under Article 44 of L. 184/1983 (“Adoption Act”), which provides for “adoption in particular cases” (“APC”). This article provides a special (not exceptional) tool, that, at the time it was drafted, was not contemplated for stepchild adoption by a parent’s same-sex partner, but could be adapted for such situations. This has remained the case even after the legislative choice not to gran…

Riflessioni sparse, in chiave comparatistica, sugli accordi prematrimoniali
2021
Prenuptial agreements are legal settlements by which a couple who is about to get married can establish the terms of the respective assets and economic interests during or after the dissolution of the marriage. The enforceability of such agreements, however, requires a delicate balance between the will expressed by the parties, on the one hand, and the public interest related to family, on the other. The comparison between US, English and Italian family law on that issue will clearly show that, both in common law and civil law countries, the concepts of status familiæ and private autonomy can coexist if they are observed in the light of the highest value of human dignity.

‘Europeanization’ of Family Law: Interaction/Intersection of Cultural and Lexical diversities
2012
The variety of national family laws constitutes a serious obstacle to the free movement of persons within the European Union. From this point of view, the establishment of minimum standards together with the creation of a ‘common core’ of family law rules become one of the main goals of the EU institutions in order to make the principle of Community freedom effective. Since the late 1990s the discourse on the relationship between family law(s) and Community law has changed significantly (1999 Action Plan; The Amsterdam Treaty, art.65; EU Treaty, art.39). Yet, notwithstanding the general sociological/socio-cultural changes that have affected the legal categories of family and marriage (i.e.,…

Instytucja zaprzeczenia ojcostwa - między teorią a praktyką w prawie polskim
2019
Artykuł powstał z uwagi na przypadki spraw o zaprzeczenie ojcostwa, z jakimi autorka miała styczność w dotychczasowej pracy w kancelarii prawnej. Czas na wytoczenie przez mężczyznę powództwa o zaprzeczenie ojcostwa lub o ustalenie bezskuteczności uznania ojcostwa jest krótki i wynosi 6 miesięcy. Ponadto po jego upłynięciu jedyną możliwością z perspektywy ojca jest wytoczenie powództwa przez prokuratora, który de facto nie musi się przychylić do wniosku mężczyzny i może odmówić tej czynności. Jednak w żadnym z tych przypadków ustalenie więzów biologicznych między ojcem a dzieckiem nie jest jeszcze przesądzone. Jeśli matka dziecka wyraża zgodę na badania DNA, które jednoznacznie wykluczają oj…
Mediation for resolving family disputes
2016
Nowadays the understanding of the institute of marriage and its importance in the society has changed. Marriage is no longer assumed to be a commitment for a lifetime. As the principle of equality has replaced hierarchy as the guiding principle of family law it gave more grounds for family disputes and it became socially acceptable to leave marriages that are intolerable or merely unfulfilling. The aim of this article is to suggest an alternative dispute resolution method-mediation as a worthy option for resolving family conflicts.
European citizenship : opportunities and abuses in private international family law
2021
El ensayo se centra en el papel de la autonomía jurídica en la regulación del estado familiar y las relaciones familiares entre los miembros de la unidad familiar típica o atípica. De hecho, el papel de la autonomía jurídica también ha sido ampliado con la ciudadanía europea, entendida por el Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea como una fuente autónoma de derechos. Esta ciudadanía, que se suma a la nacional, ha permitido a la pareja ?estática?, aún en ausencia del carácter transnacional de la situación familiar, elegir la ley y los instrumentos de los ordenamientos jurídicos extranjeros a aplicar al ámbito patrimonial y a las relaciones existenciales de la comunidad de vida. El ensayo …
Family reunification: the case of the Muslim migrant children in Europe
2014
Adopting a child is not a legal concept recognized in Islamic law, which, while giving great importance to orphans and children’s rights, has introduced the legal institution of the Kafala. This institution can be defined as a commitment by the kafil to ensure maintenance, education and protection of a minor makfoul until his legal majority, in the same way as would a father to his son, but without creating any family relationship. For these reasons the Kafala cannot be compared to an international adoption, which, contrariwise, entails the creation of a parent-child relationship. On one side the Kafala is a legal concept recognized by International Law, in particular by the United Nations …
