Abstract

This article approaches the study of the matrimonial property regime in the Valencian Region. Firstly, a brief reference is made to the autonomous region's legislative power in civil matters in the light of its Statute of Autonomy. Then, the most relevant practical aspects of Act 10/2007 on the Valencian Matrimonial Property Regime (amended by Act 8/2009, of November 11th) are covered, such as its scope of application, the prenuptial agreement named carta de núpcies, the system of joint property known as germania, and the legal framework of separate property as the default regime. After that, the Spanish Constitutional Court's Judgment 82/2016, of April 28th, which has declared this Act unconstitutional, is examined alongwith the dissenting vote. Lastly, the consequences for Valencian society of the abovementioned ruling are mentioned.
