Ravenna Court Orders 31-Year-Old to Leave Mother's Home by June 2026

The ruling underscores a presumption of independence for working-age adults in Italian family law.

Overview

  • The Tribunal of Ravenna ordered the 31-year-old to vacate his mother’s home by June 30, 2026 and to pay about €3,000 in legal costs.
  • The judge ruled that the mother’s alimony obligation had ended because, at 31, he is presumed able to live independently.
  • The mother filed suit in 2024, saying life at home had become intolerable and that her son ignored basic house rules and paid none of the household expenses.
  • Court records show he held a permanent waiter job earning about €1,400 net per month, then resigned during the case without actively seeking new work.
  • The case has been likened in coverage to the film Tanguy as a window into European debates about adult children living with parents, and it remains a civil family ruling, not a criminal matter.
