The separation of an unmarried couple takes place simply with the cessation of the cohabitation of the couple, decision that can be taken by common agreement or unilaterally by one of the members of the couple.<\/p>\n
We are going to focus on the unmarried couples registered in the corresponding administrative registry because, having to be registered necessarily to have the rights and obligations that the different autonomous communities grant, they demand the concurrence of causes and a precise form to undo this unmarried couple.<\/p>\n

assess your personal and financial circumstances to help you protect your future and move forward with confidence and legal certainty.<\/p>\n One feature of Spanish law surprises almost every foreign client: there is no single national statute governing unmarried couples<\/strong>. Registration, requirements and effects are regulated by each autonomous region, which means that the rules in Madrid are not the same as in Catalonia, Valencia or Andalusia. Where a couple registered therefore matters, and it matters again when the relationship ends.<\/p>\n Equally important is what a civil partnership does not<\/em> produce. Unlike marriage, it does not create a matrimonial property regime, it does not generate inheritance rights under the Civil Code, and it does not give rise to a compensatory allowance on separation. Couples who assume that living together for years gives them the same protection as a married couple often discover otherwise at the worst possible moment.<\/p>\n Here the position is entirely different, and it is the point that matters most. Children of an unmarried couple have exactly the same rights<\/strong> as children born within marriage. Custody, contact arrangements, child maintenance and the use of the family home are decided under the same rules and by the same courts.<\/p>\n The procedural route is not the divorce procedure but an application for parental measures, which we explain on our page on parental measures<\/a>.<\/p>\n Because no matrimonial property regime applies, property acquired during the relationship belongs to whoever holds title, unless it was purchased jointly. Where one partner has contributed to a property registered in the other’s name, the claim has to be built on general civil law principles \u2014 unjust enrichment, an implied community of property, or the terms of any cohabitation agreement \u2014 and it requires evidence.<\/p>\n This is precisely why a written cohabitation agreement matters far more for an unmarried couple than for a married one.<\/p>\nGrounds for dissolving a civil partnership in Madrid<\/h2>\n
