New statutory arrangement of maintenance in the Republic of Slovenia
Barbara Novak
Abstract
The recent changes in the Slovenian family law legislation provide an important framework for contractual freedom. The new precise legal provisions not only bring more opportunities for maintenance agreements between spouses but also encourage parents to achieve an agreement on maintenance for their children. The general principle of making more space for contractual freedom will in the future also be followed in the provisions of the new Slovenian Family Code. This will abrogate the compulsory legal regulation of property relations between spouses and provide further possibilities for freedom of settlement of one’s own (legal) relationships.
