DIVORCE & SEPARATION
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?”
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.
Cohabiting couples
In France, cohabiting is the simplest and freer legal solution. The French word for cohabitation is “concubinage”.
According to the French civil law article 515-8, cohabitation is defined as two same-sex or different people, who are unmarried or not in a civil partnership living together in a long-term relationship.
Splitting up when you’re cohabiting is legal-consequence free except if there is a serious ground.

Many parents considering this step have concerns about eligibility, consent, costs, and the legal process.
