Abstract: The essay offers a “map” of the conflicting interests in allotting the family home after separation or divorce and their governing rules. The critical review of the judicial doctrine, which considers the preservation of the domestic “habitat” as an exclusive criterion, leads the Author to redefine the axiological foundation of the current legislation, to put forward a different interpretation able to optimize the promotion of child’s best interest, without affecting competing interests in an unreasonable and disproportionate way.
Key words: family home; interests; balance.
Resumen: El ensayo ofrece un “mapa” de los intereses en conflicto en la asignación de la vivienda familiar después de la separación o el divorcio y sus reglas de gobierno. La revisión crítica de la doctrina judicial, que considera la preservación del “hábitat” doméstico como criterio exclusivo, lleva al autor a redefinir el fundamento axiológico de la legislación vigente, para proponer una interpretación diferente capaz de optimizar la promoción del interés superior del menor, sin afectar los intereses en competencia de una manera irracional y desproporcionada.
Palabras clave: vivienda familiar; intereses; equilibrio
