When a couple lives together for years as a family, it is common for one partner to appear as the “owner” on paper while the other contributes in ways that are real but undocumented: paying expenses, supporting a business, funding improvements, or sacrificing employment opportunities. If the relationship breaks down, the legal title may suggest a simple answer — but equity does not always accept it.

When parents split up, the first question that usually lands on a lawyer's desk is "how much will I have to pay-or receive-for the kids?". In Cyprus the answer is spelled out in Law 216/1990, but the courts apply that law with a good dose of common sense and life-experience. Below is a plain walk-through of the rules, the guiding court decisions and some hard-won practical tips.

In family-law disputes, few issues are as sensitive-and as pivotal-as who decides for the child once parents separate. Cyprus law approaches the matter through the concept of parental responsibility, a bundle of rights and duties owned jointly by both parents. Below we analyze the statutory basis, key case-law principles and the practical implications for day-to-day decision-making and contact with minor children of a divorced and or separated couple.

A divorce decree may end the marriage, but it does not always end the duty to support. Cyprus tackles the question of alimony for ex-spouses in Law 232/1991 on marital property relations. Below is a plain guide to who can claim, how courts set the figure, and what happens when money is urgently needed before the main case is heard.

In cases where marital relations break down, one of the most immediate and sensitive issues that arises is the continued residence of the spouses, particularly when minor children are involved. Cyprus law provides a structured mechanism to address this, enabling one spouse to secure exclusive use of the marital home under certain circumstances.

Most Cypriot divorces today are granted because the relationship has "broken down so strongly that carrying on is unbearable." That phrase comes from Article 27 of the Marriage Law 104(I)/2003 and is mirrored word-for-word in Article 111 §2.B of the Constitution. Below is a plain guide to what the courts look for, the legal shortcuts when adultery or violence is involved, and some tips on building-or challenging-a rock-solid case.
