the Greek Civil Code and
the Family Law.
Divorce Law
Types of
Divorces
There are 2 types of
divorces: divorce by
consent and
contested divorce.
Institutions
in Charge
Divorces can be
held in Greek
courts or they can
be resolved
through public
notaries.
Foreigners’ Divorce
Greek institutions can also be in charge with the divorce
formalities initiated by foreigners.
This can be the case when the defendant is a
Greek permanent resident or if the foreign
spouses lived in Greece.
Financial Obligations
Divorcing spouses can have financial
obligations (alimony) towards their minor
children.
Custody
Greece recognizes joint custody as
the primary way to handle
childrens’ matter upon a divorce.
Division of
Assets
The division of assets is
another matter to be
handled during a divorce.
Legal Representation
Legal representation is not mandatory, but it is highly recommended to
address specialized lawyers when preparing the divorce file.
