The theory at the time of a couple separating we all have very clear. A relationship between two adults is broken, the relationship of a couple ends and nothing else. However, not everyone is so clear and sometimes it is the judge who has to take action.
A mother in Italy has been condemned by the Civil Court of Rome, to pay € 30,000 for speaking ill of the father to his son. One more case in which Children are victims when their parents decide to end their relationship.
The Civil Court of Rome has sentenced a few days ago to this mother because in her opinion and according to the sentence issued, she has done everything possible to discredit the father in front of her son.
For the judges there are no excuses, the fact that some parents separate, should leave aside the rights of the children. Right to have access to both parents and that both can participate in the education of children.
In this case, according to the court, the mother of the child has been sentenced to pay € 30,000 among other reasons because he has not tried to bring the child closer to his father but quite the opposite, the court has found sufficient evidence to determine that she has tried to increase tensions, discredit and bad image of the father in the eyes of the child.
For some Italian lawyers who are experts in family law, this is a historical sentence as it emphasizes the importance of the rights of children and both parents. And it is a historical sentence also because it will set jurisprudence for future cases, which unfortunately are not as exceptional as they should.
Real victims
It is not a comfortable situation for children to have their parents separate. When the relationship between adults is broken, it is inevitable that it also affects children if there are any, but it is avoidable and should always be, that children become victims in the midst of that break.
We find cases of known partners but that is why it is neither easier nor more difficult for children, adults are the ones who have to make it easy and it is not always the case.
In this case, the judges They have found women's behavior so reprehensible that in addition to the economic fine, they have decided to reconsider the fact that the custody of the child rests exclusively with her, on the mother.
It is undeniable that children are the real victims on too many occasions of complicated divorces or conflicting separations, as in this case.
