In Valencia was heard on 5 October 2026: the eviction claim against Kenia Moracén was heard. The mother of two says she is a victim of intimate partner violence; one of her children is seven years old and has a disability rating of 95 per cent. The hearing took place at the Ciudad de la Justicia de València , and no ruling was known by the time of publication.

According to consistent reports by elDiario.es, Europa Press and Público Following enforcement proceedings, the property passed to a investment funds . According to the account, this followed the ex-partner’s failure to continue paying the mortgage, as required by a court order. The new owner, as claimant, is seeking eviction on the grounds of occupation without a contractual basis.

Kenia Moracén’s defence, represented by the lawyer Jorge Ballester, applied for the enforcement to be suspended and for a vulnerability assessment to be obtained from the Ayuntamiento de València. Ballester cited his client’s social and economic circumstances in support: no independent income, two minor children, one of them severely disabled. According to the woman, no accessible or otherwise suitable alternative accommodation has yet been made available.

Reports indicate that the woman has lived in the property with her children since the separation. Her former husband is said to have failed to meet his mortgage payment obligation under a family court ruling. As a result of the non-payment, the loan was called in and the property sold through enforcement proceedings. The fund, as the new owner, is now seeking eviction. The sources cited do not say exactly when the payments stopped or on what terms ownership was transferred.

The case involves several distinct areas of law: the family-law payment obligation, property enforcement proceedings and social protection mechanisms for particularly vulnerable households. The court will decide, on the basis of the assessments before it, whether and for how long the eviction is suspended and what obligations the municipality has in this specific case. The reports available do not support predictions about the outcome or possible political intervention.

Descriptions of the individuals’ personal circumstances and the alleged harassment near the home are drawn from accounts by Kenia Moracén and her defence team in the media reports cited. The reports did not include any response from the owner.
