Currently I do not use PetscSection. If this makes a cleaner approach, I'd
try it too but may a bit later (right now I'd like test my model with a
quickfix even if it means a little dirty code!)

So I tried to get this approach working but I could not succeed and
encountered some errors. Here is a code snippet:

//mDa is the DMDA that describes the whole grid with all 4 dofs (3 velocity
components and 1 pressure comp.)
ierr = DMKSPSetComputeRHS(mDa,computeRHSTaras3D,this);CHKERRQ(ierr);
    ierr =
DMKSPSetComputeOperators(mDa,computeMatrixTaras3D,this);CHKERRQ(ierr);
    ierr = KSPSetDM(mKsp,mDa);CHKERRQ(ierr);
    ierr = KSPSetNullSpace(mKsp,mNullSpaceSystem);CHKERRQ(ierr);   //I've
the mNullSpaceSystem based on mDa, that contains a null space basis for the
complete system.
    ierr =
KSPSetFromOptions(mKsp);CHKERRQ(ierr);
//This I expect would register these options I give:-pc_type fieldsplit
-pc_fieldsplit_type schur -pc_fieldsplit_0_fields 0,1,2
//-pc_fieldsplit_1_fields 3

    ierr = KSPSetUp(mKsp);CHKERRQ(ierr);

    ierr = KSPGetPC(mKsp,&mPcOuter);     //Now get the PC that was obtained
from the options (fieldsplit)

    ierr =
PCFieldSplitSchurPrecondition(mPcOuter,PC_FIELDSPLIT_SCHUR_PRE_USER,mPcForSc);CHKERRQ(ierr);
//I have created the matrix mPcForSc using a DMDA with identical //size to
mDa but with dof=1 corresponding to the pressure nodes (say mDaPressure).

  ierr = PCSetUp(mPcOuter);CHKERRQ(ierr);

    KSP *kspSchur;
    PetscInt kspSchurPos = 1;
    ierr =
PCFieldSplitGetSubKSP(mPcOuter,&kspSchurPos,&kspSchur);CHKERRQ(ierr);
    ierr =
KSPSetNullSpace(kspSchur[1],mNullSpacePressure);CHKERRQ(ierr);
//The null space is the one that correspond to only pressure nodes, created
using the mDaPressure.
    ierr = PetscFree(kspSchur);CHKERRQ(ierr);

    ierr = KSPSolve(mKsp,NULL,NULL);CHKERRQ(ierr);


The errors I get when running with options: -pc_type fieldsplit
-pc_fieldsplit_type schur -pc_fieldsplit_0_fields 0,1,2
-pc_fieldsplit_1_fields 3
