Jurisprudential application of the new causes of marriage termination

Abstract

Ever since the publication of Civil Matrimony Law we have been able to no-tice the variety of criteria about different subjects and thus, contradictory judgments. This paper covers some issues of practical interest, such as the possibility the defendant has of detaining a divorce lawsuit when the plaintiff has repeatedly failed to perform child support and alimony; joint divorce requirement lawsuit; to establish whether it is appropriate or not to indemnify on psychological damage; who has the right to initiate nullity action and some aspects related to economic compensation.
