Abstract

New Regulation 1104/2016 deals with the assessment of international jurisdiction, applicable law and extraterritorial validity of decisions relating to the patrimonial effects of registered partnerships. The patrimonial effects of unregistered couples remain subject to domestic rules. These unions are more and more common in Spain and they also entail economic consequences. When love ends, litigation starts. The former partners can proceed against each other claiming for maintenance, compensatory allowances, rights of use and occupancy of the house or household effects and potential inheritance rights. This paper addresses the determination of international jurisdiction and applicable law on these matters under Spanish private international law.
