Changes To Spanish Divorce Law

A recent change to the Spanish divorce law promises to change the moral code of divorced mothers. It is common for the divorcee with custody of minor children of the marriage to reside in the former family home with the children; it is also not unheard of for the new partner of the mother to move into the former matrimonial home once the relationship has been established. However a new ruling from the Spanish Supreme Court has stated that if a divorcee wishes to install their new partner in the former family home it changes the nature of the "family character" of the property and the divorcee (even those with children under the age of majority living with them) no longer has the right to live in the former family home, unless the person buys out their former partner's interest in the property.
