Questione giuridica chiave
Whether time-limited marital protection measures remain an enforceable title after their fixed expiry date if no new provisional measures were ordered in the divorce proceedings.
Decisione estratta
No. Measures ordered for a fixed term lapse automatically at the end of the period; after expiry they no longer constitute an enforceable title for maintenance.
Motivazione estratta
The Court held that marital protection measures generally continue until replaced by provisional measures in divorce, but a fixed-term order ceases to have effect when the deadline expires. If the spouses do not resume cohabitation and no prolongation or new measures are requested, the expired order cannot serve as a legal basis for enforcement.
