Civil neighbourhood is regulated under the preliminary title of the Spanish Civil Code.
As a general rule the civil neighbourhood of under age children will be the same as the parents. Please take into account that children, of a foreign parent, who acquire the Spanish nationality can opt for civil neighbourhood in the Valencia community if they live or are born there. <\/p>\n
Firstly we must say that this new Law has created some legal and political controversy. The central government of Spain has agreed to file a constitutional appeal against it based on the fact that it regulates over civil institutions that did not exist in the field of civil statuary Laws of the Valencia Community and thus exceeds the powers of the region in breach of the exclusive faculties of the State. <\/p>\n
In any case we have to highlight the fact that this Law clearly points out that in the absence of a FAMILY COEXISTENCE AGREEMENT (PACTO DE CONVIVENCIA FAMILIAR) agreed by consent<\/u> <\/a>by both parents regulating the relationship between each other and their children in a friendly matter IT WILL BE THE judicial authority who will set the following points of the relationship: One of the main novelties of this Law is that it establishes in article 5.2 that the general rule will be the shared living regime between parents and children (equivalent to JOINT CUSTODY in a broader sense).<\/p>\n Only the custody or living regime could be granted to one of the parents when it is necessary to guarantee the well being of the minors and supported by the necessary backups and reports from doctors, social workers etc. In these cases a system for family relations must be set to guarantee the relationship of the minor with both parents (contact, visits, and holidays). The judge can also monitor the family situation periodically.<\/p>\n Also this Law states in its article 6 that in regards to who will keep the use of the properties and house goods, that in case of allocating the family home to one of the parents being the other parent the sole or part owner, a compensation should be paid to the parent who loses use of the property. The compensation amount will be determined taking into account the general renting fees in the area where the property is located. In addition the Law states that the allocation of the house will be on a temporary basis setting a maximum period of use which can be modified by a Court decision. <\/p>\n
a.)\tCoexistence regime between the children and their parents.
b.)\tRelationship regime between the children and their brothers, sisters grandparents and other family members this is something new and different to the previous applicable law, as did not expressly mentioned these relatives.
c.)\tDistribution of properties and house goods owned by the family.
d.)\tSetting the Maintenance and expenses amounts for the children. <\/p>\n
