Swiss Parliament passes law to simplify divorce proceedings

The Swiss parliament recently passed a new law aimed at simplifying the divorce process in the country. The amendment to the law concerns the conditions of divorce and the settlement of financial matters related to divorce.

One of the main changes concerns the separation period, which is now reduced from two to one year. This means that couples who separate amicably can get divorced more quickly, making the process overall faster and more cost-effective.

Another important change concerns the handling of financial matters related to divorce. If couples cannot agree, an arbitrator is now appointed to help make the decision. This arbitrator is appointed by the court and his decisions are binding.

The amendment to the law is expected to contribute to faster and more efficient divorce proceedings in Switzerland. This will help reduce the burden on the courts and ensure that couples receive a quick and fair settlement of their divorce.
