DIVORCE & SEPARATION
Financial abuse lawyer – Recognising and responding under French law
Financial abuse—also known as economic violence—is an often-overlooked form of domestic mistreatment, yet it leads to deep harm on victims. In France, such abuse is recognized under both civil and criminal law. The Law of 4 April 2006, amended in 2010, officially defines “economic violence” (violence économique) within marital relationships. Since 2018, economic violence also became punishable under the Criminal Code (Article 222‑16‑3‑1), with penalties of up to three years’ imprisonment and €45,000 fine.
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.
