DIVORCE & SEPARATION
Common Law marriage France
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.

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.
