[quote=Anonymous][b]They also restructured alimony last year, so that the receiving spouse only is given enough to support the cost of living but NOT the standard of living during the marriage.[/b]

“Divorcees in Italy will no longer have to pay for their exes to maintain the same standard of living as during their marriage, after a 'revolutionary' ruling by the country's top court.
In Wednesday's Court of Cassation ruling, judges "established new parameters" for the calculation of alimony, the court's chief press officer Raffaele Botta said in a statement.

While alimony payments had previously been established with the goal of "maintaining the matrimonial standard of living", the court instead said on Wednesday that payments should be based purely on guaranteeing "the economic independence or self-sufficiency of the spouse who requests it".

In other words, divorcees are likely to receive smaller monthly payments than in the past, particularly in cases where their ex-spouse was wealthy.”
