In our system there is the right to bigenitoriality. Thus, the parent, even if the child’s rightful foster car, cannot arbitrarily deprive the child of the other parenting figure, but rather has an obligation to educate and raise awareness of the child to have an ongoing relationship with the other parent.

In cases of separation and divorce, the assistance offered by Boscagli Law Firm deals with both the regulation of relations between former spouses and the protection of minor children. Issues addressed by our professionals include joint custody, the protection of the child in the event of distorted use of parental responsibility or unlawful transfer of children abroad, judicial or voluntary recognition of children by natural parents, and actions before the court to protect if the child remains bereft of the parents or the latter prove unable to exercise responsibility for it.

The transfer of the child from the environment in which he grew up and has always lived, where he built the center of his affections and interests and the first important points of reference in the delicate phase of the growth and formation of the personality, constitutes a real act of violence, likely to cause serious damage to the psycho-physical well-being of the child.

The Boscagli law firm has considerable experience in the field of national and international child abduction, applying specific and complex procedures to ensure the return of children unlawfully stolen and taken abroad.

Normally, it is essential to act on several fronts by submitting to the Children’s Court an appeal for the suspension/decadence of parental responsibility towards the parent who took the child away. At the same time, a complaint may be filed before the Public Prosecutor’s Office for the crime of international child abduction.

There is also a specific procedure under the Hague Convention which must be activated in order to allow cooperation between judicial and police authorities belonging to different states, to ensure the return of the abducted child.

Paternity recognition and disclaimer

We specialize in procedures regarding paternity recognition and disclaimer and we have a great experience about these topics

Home Contacts

The Boscagli law firm specializes in the paternity recognition process which is an act by which the parent attributes the paternity of a person by creating a legal relationship with the same. The discipline of the subject is also the subject of legislative review by Law 154/2013 which removed all references to the term “natural children”, legally equating children born within and outside marriage.

Through recognition, a purely natural fact, such as the birth of a child outside marriage, is transformed into a law-free act capable of producing legal relations between the recognition-making parent and the recognized child. Recognition may be made by the mother or father in the act of birth or at a later date with a special declaration before a civil officer or in a public act or in a will.

The action can be promoted by the child and if the child dies before the action has begun, it can be promoted by the descendants within two years of death. Proceedings may be brought against the alleged parent or his heirs. In the absence of these, the action is brought against a curator appointed by the Judge before whom the proceedings must be initiated.

We are also experts on the related theme of paternity disclaimer which is a judicial action that can be proposed to remove the attribution of the paternity of the child conceived during marriage to the husband. In fact, it is assumed that the spouse is the father of the conceived child; but it may not be so. In order to deny the paternity of the husband, art. 243 bis provides for the action of paternity disclaimer.

The action can be proposed not only by the husband but also by the mother and the child. The natural father is excluded. The applicant must prove that there is no relationship between the child and the alleged father.

The analysis of family assets and the correct management of the generational transition are today the best protection to ensure its preservation, preserving its heritage from external aggression and/or to facilitate its transmission to the heirs.

The Wealth Fund and The Trust are both characterized by the existence of a wealth intended for a purpose and realize the separation of it from the remaining assets of the holder, that is, the so-called “segregation”. The trust has the obligation to target a specific purpose that for the capital is “the needs of the family”, while for the trust is “an interest deserving of protection”.

The Boscagli law firm, leveraging its 20-year expertise in inheritance, corporate, financial and tax, judicial and out-of-court, as well as its ability to identify the most suitable solution and adequately assess its consequences, offers a comprehensive and organic analysis of all the solutions and opportunities provided by civil law and tax legislation, as an example , from the Trust to the donation, the family pact, the will, the corporate instruments, the wealth fund, the insurance policies, for the proper planning of activities aimed at the protection and succession of assets, both before and after the death of the holder.

Starting from the examination of the family, income and social elements and the civil and inheritance constraints that must necessarily be evaluated by the owner and his advisor, the professionals of the Firm examine in detail the civil and fiscal discipline of all successor institutions, corporate and financial, providing for each of them the necessary indications to assess risks and benefits by interpreting the will and expectations of the client , all in absolute confidentiality and with the utmost diligence, timeliness and efficiency.

The primary objective, in fact, in addition to the protection of goods from third-party aggression, is to optimize the management of assets, in order to allow the actual achievement of the objectives set by the owner, even in the estate.

Ensuring continuity of management in the transition from one generation to another is a need very much felt by Italian companies. In an economy characterized by the presence of many family companies, the generational transition is often experienced with difficulties, and in some cases the quarrels that arise between the heirs are the cause of a real crisis of the enterprise.

Boscagli Law Firm has gained extensive expertise and experience in the development of a family pact in order to allow the living entrepreneur to transfer, in all or part, the company. In particular, the holder of corporate holdings transfers them, in whole or in part, to one or more descendants, with the consent of the spouse and all those who would be legitimized (necessary heirs), as if the succession were to open at that time. Those who receive the company or the corporate holdings must liquidate the other legitimizers by paying them a sum corresponding to the share of inheritance that would be theirs, unless they give up in all or part of it.

It is important to note that the transfer of the company or corporate holdings takes effect immediately and definitively, so it can no longer be called into question even after the death of the holder, except for a few exceptions expressly indicated by law. The company or corporate holdings covered by the family pact are not part of the succession at the time of the claimant’s death, and the reduction action against the transfer is not permitted, which must therefore be understood as final.

Family pacts

We are able to support the client in the stipulation of a family pact with which a kind of early succession is carried out, that is, the transfer, in whole or in part, of the company holdings.
