When couples from English-speaking countries move to France, a common question arises:
“Will my common-law marriage be recognised under French law?”
In many common-law jurisdictions (United States, Canada, Australia, the UK historically), couples acquire legal rights simply by living together as a couple without any formal ceremony. These rights can include inheritance, spousal support, property sharing, and recognition as a spouse for immigration or benefits.

Calculating child maintenance payments

Calculating child maintenance payments

Child maintenance calculations can vary between countries, and both France and the UK have their own systems for determining child maintenance payments.
United Kingdom (UK):
In the UK, child maintenance payments are typically determined by the Child Maintenance Service (CMS), which is a government agency. The CMS uses a formula to calculate the amount of child maintenance that the non-residential parent (the parent who doesn’t have the main day-to-day care of the child) should pay. The formula considers factors such as the non-residential parent’s gross income, the number of children involved, and the number of nights the children spend with the non-residential parent.

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.
