Infanta Cristina and Iñaki Urdangarin sign the divorce before a notary, secretly and by mutual agreement

The Infanta Cristina and Iñaki Urdangarin They have signed their divorce by mutual agreement and before a notary. Notarial divorce was introduced in 2015 by the Voluntary Jurisdiction Law, and is the fastest way to end the marital union. More than 26 years have passed since October 4, 1997, when Barcelona decked itself out and before Kings, his little daughter dressed as a bride in love to marry the handsome athlete. But the youngest daughter of the emeritus and Doña Sofía have ended their marriage. Just like Infanta Elena escaped from her sister and we were able to hear, They did it at the beginning of January, although at the end of last year everything was already done and only the signature was missing: Cristina and Urdangarin will sign their divorce “in a matter of weeks”: the secret conversation, our headline read.

In fact, now the magazine Hola confirms that they ended their marriage at the end of December, before Cristina traveled to Abu Dhabi to attend King Juan Carlos's 86th birthday. However, their separation had been announced since on Monday, January 24, 2022, two years ago, it was revealed that their divorce would take a while.

As we reported months ago from Informalia, the infanta and the former handball player were clear from the beginning that they would wait for their daughter Irene to reach the age of majority to formalize the end of their union. It occurred on June 5, 2023. Since there were no minor children, they no longer had to go through a court or reach an express guardianship and custody agreement.

The final agreement came in December, after Infanta Elena accidentally revealed, as we reported exclusively, that everything was done and the end was imminent: in December, they put an end to their marital bond, although the leading weekly newspaper of that party of the Borbón family does not rule out that the firm will be closed at the beginning of 2024, as we said, before Mrs. Cristina traveled to Abu Dhabi with her children Pablo and Irene to attend the birthday of King Juan Carlos. It is false, as was published, that they decided to get divorced in Geneva: the procedure was in Barcelona, ​​where they married and lived for most of their marriage and where all their children were born.

The moment of divorce

The infanta and the father of her children went together, without the children, and with their family lawyer to a notary office in Barcelona, ​​according to Hola this Wednesday. Previously, and although they were not present at the signing, Juan, Pablo, Miguel and Irene had to give consent to the measures taken that affect their lives. The law does not require the presence of the children, although they were represented by a representative to give their consent. Only the presence of Cristina and Iñaki, at the same time, to sign the deed, as required by law for all spouses. They presented the regulatory agreement, the minimum content of which is indicated in article 90 of the Civil Code and is included in the divorce deed.
