Marriage vs pacs in France – should we sign a pacs or get married
Choosing between marriage and a PACS (Pacte Civil de Solidarité) in France is more than a formality—it shapes your legal status, financial equilibrium, inheritance rights, and even emotional symbolism. Many international couples, expats and French break down these options: “Is marriage obsolete? Is PACS enough? What if we separate?”
Marriage desertion
In France, the word ‘desertion’ involves two distinct things with different legal consequences and penalties.
– Desertion means that one spouse left the family home against the wishes of the other with no good reason and can be served as ground for a fault-divorce. It’s called “abandon du domicile conjugal” as “ desertion” in English.
– Desertion also refers to missed maintenance payments and is considered as a criminal offence. It’s called “abandon de famille” as desertion in English.
Divorce mediation
Within families, numerous events can become sources of conflict. Family disputes have the potential to create a climate of tension and strain relationships among various members.
However going through legal proceedings may not always be the most suitable solution. State justice delivers judgments and decisions that bind the parties involved. However, resolving a dispute through legal proceedings does not necessarily contribute to social peace and may not always lead to a peaceful resolution of underlying issues.

What is the difference between a will and a trust?
When it comes to estate planning, understanding the difference between a will and a trust is crucial. A will is a legal document that outlines how your assets should be distributed after your death and can designate guardians for minor children. In contrast, a trust is a legal arrangement where a trustee holds and manages assets on behalf of beneficiaries, which can take effect during your lifetime or upon your passing. While both serve to distribute your assets, they differ in terms of when they take effect, how they are managed, and the legal processes they follow.
