DIVORCE & SEPARATION
Cohabitation agreement lawyer
More and more couples today choose to live together without getting married. While this is increasingly common, many people are unaware that living together can leave them legally vulnerable in case of separation, illness, or death. Unlike marriage, which comes with a clear legal framework, cohabitation often provides little or no protection unless you create one yourself — and this is where a cohabitation agreement lawyer becomes essential.
Ex-partner is refusing to leave the family home
When getting a divorce, spouses stop living together.
Most of the time, it’s a normal breakup process.
However, sometimes a partner refuses to leave the family home. This situation can become quickly tricky and also can lead to domestic violence.
Separation agreement lawyer
A separation agreement is a legal document that outlines the terms and conditions under which a couple agrees to live apart without immediately divorcing or dissolving their marriage. These agreements address key issues such as property division, child custody, spousal maintenance, and financial responsibilities.
While not as final as divorce, a separation agreement can be a crucial tool for couples who wish to define their rights and obligations during separation time. The legal frameworks surrounding separation agreements vary significantly between the UK and France.

Children maintenance
Children maintenance definition
Children maintenance is a set of payments made from one parent to another to help pay for your child’s living costs. It’s paid by the parent who doesn’t usually live with the child to the person who has most day-to-day care of the child and called ’child support’.
This payment is not only based on day-to-day care of the child but also on both parents’ earnings.

Choosing the applicable divorce Law
If you are an expatriate couple considering divorce in Europe, understanding how to choose the applicable law is crucial. The Rome III Regulation—in force for certain EU countries—gives spouses the right to choose which national law will govern their divorce or legal separation. But the process can be tricky, especially for couples with ties to different countries or different legal traditions—like French civil law and common law systems.

Financial matters
Spousal maintenance
Only spouses so married couples may be entitled to a maintenance claim or to pay for spousal maintenance and your lawyer’s firm can help you calculate the award.
Spousal maintenance definition:
Spousal maintenance is a payment paid by a spouse to the other spouse if a spouse doesn’t have enough income after you’re separated from the other.
When a spouse has much higher income than the other, there may need to be a period of ongoing financial support in order not to affect the well-being of the other.
The paying spouse is the debtor and the one receiving the allowance is the recipient.
Divorce with a business involved
The life of a company is shaped by economic and legislative changes, but these elements do not determine a company’s viability. Indeed, financial and management issues can come up when getting a divorce.
Despite private and emotional issues a business owner may have, you can face financial and legal consequences putting your company at risk.
When getting a divorce, the company’s future will be based on your matrimonial property regime and contractual agreements.
