válása

válása is a Hungarian noun formed with the suffix -ása from the verb válni. It is closely related to válás, the standard noun for divorce, and in many contexts can convey the act of ending a marriage or a process of separation. In broader linguistic use, válása is a nominalized form that denotes the action described by válni, though in everyday language válás and related phrases are more common for referring to a divorce.

In legal terms, divorce in Hungary is governed by family law. A divorce may be obtained by mutual agreement if the spouses settle essential terms such as custody of children and division of property; otherwise, one party may petition a court for a divorce, after which the court may decide on ancillary matters such as child custody, child support, and alimony. The exact procedures differ depending on whether the spouses share children, have jointly owned property, or require mediation. The term válása may appear in legal or formal discussions to describe the act of ending a marriage by a subject, though official documents more frequently use válás or specific procedural language.

Socially, divorce or separation can have lasting personal and economic effects on families. The reasons cited for dissolution commonly include irreconcilable differences, financial strain, and changes in circumstances. Support resources, counseling, and mediation services are often involved to manage transitions, especially where children are concerned. Demographic patterns of válása can vary by region and over time, reflecting broader social and economic trends.
