Summary
Résumé
En Slovénie, le nouveau Code de la famille est entré en vigueur en avril 2019, remplaçant la loi sur le mariage et les relations familiales adoptée en 1976. Le nouveau Code de la famille a élargi le champ de compétence des notaires Slovènes. Il a ajouté une nouvelle compétence à celle existant déjà, à savoir les contrats concernant les relations patrimoniales entre époux que l’ancienne loi sur le mariage et les relations familiales ne réglementait pas. Il s’agit d’une nouveauté importante qui permet aux conjoints d’organiser leurs relations patrimoniales par contrat en fonction de leurs souhaits et de leurs attentes. Cela a renforcé l’autonomie des conjoints dans la réglementation de leurs relations mutuelles, tout en leur garantissant la sécurité juridiques appropriée. Sous l’empire de l’ancienne loi, ce domaine faisait l’objet d’une réglementation légale obligatoire et donc assez rigide. Dans le présent chapitre, l’auteur analyse la nouvelle réglementation relative aux contrats de mariage ainsi que les autres pouvoirs conférés aux notaires par le (nouveau) Code de la famille.
INTRODUCTION
In 2017, Slovenia finally got a long-awaited new family law regulation, namely the Family Code (FC). The FC was adopted on 21 March 2017, and entered into force on 15 April 2017. Due to preparations for the changes it would bring, its entry into force was postponed for two years. The FC came into force on 15 April 2019, replacing the Marriage and Family Relations Act (MFRA) of 1976, which had been in force for more than 40 years.
The FC brought many significant changes and innovations, one of the most important of which was related to notaries. The FC has increased the existing powers of Slovene notaries, introducing the possibility of contractual regulation of property relations between spouses, who are now able to withdraw from the legal property regime and regulate and adjust their property relations according to their wishes and expectations. Previous regulation under the MFRA was rigid, as it regulated only the mandatory property regime, which spouses could not change. But the so-called marital contract (in Slovene, ‘zenitna pogodba’) was, historically, known and regulated by the General Civil Code, which was in force in Slovenia until 1946.
