Abstract
The article examines where the main European legal systems stand as regards the financial consequences of divorce, trying to draw conclusions on the direction and speed of developments from the experience of these systems. First, the questions of how matrimonial property rules operate in the event of divorce and how they interact with the financial remedies provided by the law on divorce are examined. Next, the focus is shifted to the issue of maintenance after divorce. Recent legal developments seem to indicate that a tendency to lessen the importance of maintenance and comparable claims is becoming even more pronounced.
