Prohibition of waiving alimony

The principle of prohibition of waiving alimony was already recognized in the case law between the wars. According to the Supreme Court ruling of 17 August 1933 (C.I. 529/33), the obligation of spouses to provide each other with support and assistance and to feed, maintain and raise their children is based on the right to life of the individual and family solidarity, so the provisions of the law in this respect fall within the scope of public order, and therefore the waiver by the entitled person of the right to alimony itself cannot be significant, while the waiver of the pursuit of strictly defined and liquidable alimony claims does not concern public order, because these claims could have been satisfied or turned out to be unnecessary due to the change in the material situation and relations of the parties.
