Abstract

Abstract: Marriage or a common-law union is an agreement between two people that creates legal obligations for both parties. They can voluntarily terminate this legal bond and end mutual obligations. However, by legal provision, this legal act is exclusively performed before a public notary. This legal provision has been subject to observations by users of the mutual consent divorce process or termination of the common-law union, since this procedure, being exclusively before a public notary, incurs a cost that is often not accessible to users, highlighting a violation of the right to free access to justice. The ruling under study even takes into account the cases of many low-income individuals who cannot divorce because they lack the economic resources. Although it is true that by establishing this procedure before a public notary, the judicial workload is alleviated, and service in judicial units is improved, on the other hand, a considerable number of people are left without this long-awaited justice, remaining in a legal bond without its principal characteristic, which is consent, often resulting in negative issues such as domestic violence, among others. The judgment under study is established as a milestone in the fulfillment of the sustainable development goals, since it seeks a society that has the right to free justice and a culture of peace.
