International divorce proceedings involving a spouse in Atessa

Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements with international elements — Atessa
- International couples establishing residence in Atessa or owning assets in Chieti should consider the enforceability of prenuptial or postnuptial agreements under Italian law, which differs materially from common law jurisdictions. While Italian law does not recognise prenuptial agreements in the Anglo-American sense, the choice of matrimonial property regime — comunione or separazione dei beni — and specific patrimonial agreements under Article 162 of the Civil Code can achieve comparable protective effects. The firm advises international couples on structuring these arrangements in a manner recognised across relevant jurisdictions.

Which court has jurisdiction over a divorce when one spouse lives in Atessa and the other abroad?
