DIVORCE & SEPARATION
Education lawyer
Home schooling, or educating children at home, is a growing trend in France. Over the past decade, the number of children receiving home education has steadily increased. However, French law imposes specific regulations to balance the government’s requirement for compulsory education starting at age 3 and parental rights to make decisions about their child’s education
Collaborative Law
Going to Court is not always the best solution to resolve a dispute.
We tend to say that going to court ends with ‘one party wins’ ‘one party loses’. The reality is not that straight forward.
Winning a dispute sometimes involves losing bonds and relationships with a child, a partner, a mother…
Paying for divorce
Around 130,000 divorces are granted each year in France, but at what cost?
The primary expense during a divorce is related to lawyer fees, which are not fixed and vary depending on the reputation of the firm and the complexity of your circumstances. Notary fees must also be considered when calculating the overall cost of a divorce.
Generally speaking, the more contentious a separation is, with repeated disputes, the higher these costs will be.

Relocation disputes can be some of the most challenging and emotional issues in family law, especially when children are involved. When a parent wants to relocate with their child, it often raises questions about custody, visitation rights, and the best interests of the child.

This makes it essential for parents to seek guidance from an experienced relocation custody lawyer.

Financial matters
French-UK Nuptial agreement
Marital agreement definition in France
In France, a marital agreement is a legal document where spouses decide how they want to share their assets during and after their marriage (divorce, death…).
A marital agreement is not compulsory in France but useful for couples who want to separate assets, properties and belongings.
Postnuptial agreement
Marital agreement definition
A set of financial rules and duties regarding marital life here is the definition of a marital agreement. Before getting married spouses can agree on how they want to manage financial matters within their household such as getting a pre-nuptial agreement. If the spouses do not attend a prenup agreement (for the French law), then they will automatically get involved into the universal community of assets.
Prenuptial agreement
Regarding French Law, prenuptial or marital property agreement is a legal document drawn up between a couple before their marriage to manage their assets and the type of marital agreement they want.
This is sometimes difficult to understand as even if prenuptial agreement are a common thing in other countries, choosing the right type of agreement does not exist in Common Law.
Legal consequences depending on the type of agreement are finally understood and lead to arguments when spouses decide to get an international divorce. This is also true when expats were not aware of their marital agreement and the law does not correspond to their culture.
If you are a French expat or you have assets as your partner in France or whatever your citizenship is, we advise to get a bilingual international family law lawyer.
