The differences between separation and divorce
Separation: it is a legal situation in which marital obligations are suspended. This suspension does not involve aspects of assistance and mutual respect. The separation can be consensual or judicial, the substantial difference is in the existence of an agreement or not between the spouses.
Divorce: with divorce the husband and wife lose the status of spouses, with relative cessation of the legal effects of the marriage. Without prejudice to obligations towards any children and parental authority.
Separation and divorce, the substantial differences.
- When is it possible to remarry? In case of separation it is not possible to remarry. It will therefore be necessary to proceed with the divorce in order to get married again. The patrimonial aspects of Separation and Divorce: unless otherwise expressed, legal community of property automatically applies in marriage. In this specific case, once the sentence has been pronounced, the community of property is dissolved and the spouses can judicially request that the property be divided. This circumstance disappears if the spouses reach an agreement on the division of the same. All assets owned by one of the spouses before marriage, pensions resulting from loss of employment, assets received as a donation or inherited, as well as, for example, assets obtained as compensation for damages, are not included in the community of assets. On the other hand, in the event of separation of assets, the parties remain administrators and enjoy the assets acquired before and during the marriage. Inheritance in the event of separation and divorce: separation does not cause inheritance rights to cease, on the other hand with divorce they do.
Separation and divorce: what can be demonstrated with investigations?
- INVESTIGATIONS FOR CHARGES IN SEPARATION AND DIVORCE
Pursuant to the Civil Code art. 151: "Separation can be requested when, even independently of the will of one or both spouses, events occur that make the continuation of cohabitation intolerable or cause serious damage to the education of the offspring."
The judge, pronouncing the separation, declares, where the circumstances exist and is requested, which of the spouses is responsible for the separation. The judge, pursuant to art. 156 of the Civil Code, establishes a maintenance allowance in favor of the spouse who is responsible for the separation. Finally, the spouse who is charged for the separation loses inheritance rights, which instead belong to the separated spouse without charge. The spouse who is the recipient of the charge is entitled to a lifetime allowance if, at the time of the opening of the will, he/she was the recipient of alimony from the deceased.

Separation and Divorce: the sentences of the Court of Cassation
Separation with charge: (Court of Cassation, civil section, sentence n. 11516 of 23 May 2014)
In the case of judicial legal separation, the husband requests that the separation take place at the wife's expense. To support his thesis there was numerous evidence of the adultery that the wife had already committed months before the separation. The Court of Appeal accepts this theory and revokes the wife's maintenance allowance. The evidence that the husband had brought to trial is to be considered decisive for the wife's adulterous responsibility. In fact, the evidence allowed that, in the judicial context, it was possible to effectively reconstruct the violation of the spouse's duty of loyalty.
Following this conclusion, the wife appealed to the Court of Cassation, complaining in particular about the inability to use the investigative evidence. The Court of Cassation rejects this appeal, thus affirming the full lawfulness of the use of the investigative reports.
